(I know it's supported by Red Hat but it was based off a Fedora so old that I can't remember what systems and versions of things it actually has.) It looks like you're using the EPEL package, which I have updated to fix security problems in the past but which I don't really maintain because the modern packages don't even build. If you use the regular EPEL support channel for assistance (see below) I might be willing to cook up a package for a more recent version.

Didn't your package come with documentation which explains that? There should be a README.Fedora file which explains this, though I guess that package release may be old enough to not have it. I can't really remember what's in those ancient releases. Anyway, the simple answer (assuming my guess about your problem is correct) is to rotate /var/log/secure. Or just wait for denyhosts to finish processing all of your old logs but I recommend the former. You can manually process the rotated log later. Also, if you're going to use packages from some kind of distribution like EPEL, it's probably best to file bugs for this kind of thing with their support channel. For EPEL packages that would be http://bugzilla.redhat.com - J< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Denyhosts-user mailing list Denyhosts-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/denyhosts-user
