Yes, do the sudo rm step and restart your daemon.

Here the result :

23:00 r...@srv /etc# cat /var/run/denyhosts.pid
6895
23:00 r...@srv /etc# ps -A | grep deny
zsh: done       ps -A |
zsh: exit 1     grep deny

That talk to you ?

My guess is that your system crashed or denyhosts was otherwise terminated abnormally, this will result in a leftover pid file which will effectively stop denyhosts from starting.

To check this you would do something like:

1) cat /var/run/denyhosts.pid

This will tell you whether there is a value in that field. If there is a value there then do:

2) ps -A | grep deny

Does anything show up besides 'grep deny'?

If no, then do:

3) sudo rm /var/run/denyhosts.pid

... and then restart your daemon.

If you do not find a value in step 1, then stop and let us know.
If you do find a value in step 2 besides grep deny, then stop and let us know.

I tried your solution, but nothing, look the result :

20:57 r...@srv /var/run# start-stop-daemon --start --verbose -- pidfile /var/run/denyhosts.pid --exec /usr/sbin/denyhosts --
Starting /usr/sbin/denyhosts...

But no (wanring) when I just stop, then start the service.

(warning) appears only when I make a "restart".

Thank you.

   Try starting the daemon in verbose mode (I think it is the -v
   option) and see if there are other messages.

       Good day all,

       However, I have a question because I have found nowhere an
       answer on this in different website.

       I just installed Denyhosts 2.3 on 2 servers, Debian Etch and
       Debian Lenny.

       Everything seems ok, however, I have two different messages
       depending on the version used in Debian.

       For Lenny:

       Restarting DenyHosts *(warning)*.
       Stopping DenyHosts: denyhosts.
       Starting DenyHosts: denyhosts.
       Done *(warning)*.

       For Etch:

       * Restarting DenyHosts
       Stopping DenyHosts: denyhosts.
       Starting DenyHosts: denyhosts.
       * Done

       My question is simple: what does (warning) mean for Lenny? It
       appears in yellow as the '*' message in Etch.

       I look at the logs, nothing to report, the two look alike, I
       have no error message.

So (warning) is it normal or not? Kind it is here to inform that
       I have to restart the service?

       Thank you in advance.

       Best regards,
       Arnaud
