$ denyhosts-py25.py --help
Usage:
/sw/bin/denyhosts-py25.py [-f logfile | --file=logfile] [ -c
configfile | --config=configfile] [-i | --ignore] [-n | --noemail] [--
purge] [--migrate] [--daemon] [--sync] [--version]
But there may be something else going on here. If I try starting the
daemon manually, I get:
$ sudo denyhosts-py25.py -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25/denyhosts.cfg --
daemon
Can't read: /var/log/asl.log
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/asl.log'
Error deleting DenyHosts lock file: /sw/var/run/denyhosts-py25.pid
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sw/var/run/denyhosts-py25.pid'
And I get the same thing if I try to set the log file manually.
Maybe a reboot, thereby starting the daemon, would work.

Thanks. When I execute /sw/bin/denyhosts-py25.py I get the error
message:
Error reading file: denyhosts.cfg
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'denyhosts.cfg'
However, when I check the /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25 directory,
denyhosts.cfg is there.
Any ideas?
thanks,

Quite correct: everything should be installed in your Fink tree by
a Fink package (except for a few things that have to be handled at
the system level).
The daemon is supposed to be set up to run automatically as part of
the package's installation process.
If you run "dpkg -L denyhosts-py25" you'll find /sw/bin/denyhosts-
py25.py , which should be executable.

Thanks, Laine. However, my Fink installation seems to have set up
things differently. I don't have a /usr/share/denyhosts
directory. Instead, I have a /sw/etc/daemons directory containing
the file denyhosts-py25.xml. All files have been installed under /
sw. For example, the denyhosts.cfg file is in /sw/etc/denyhosts-
py25 directory. Does this make sense to you and, if so, do you
know how to launch the daemon?
thanks

1) I found instructions that only involve editing the sshd_config
file. Is this sufficient?
I think the editing of the sshd_config file is what is needed to
make it
work on a standard (non-server) Tiger system. Most of what you
need for
setup is found in the denyhosts FAQ. Once you've configured it,
you should
be able to get some information by running the start and stop
commands. I
think you might want to use Lingon to create a launchd item
rather than
cron. It's fairly straighforward to set up a startup item with
Lingon.
The start and stop commands are (depending on your configuration
- I didn't
install this particular solution using Fink):
/usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control start
/usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control stop
It should be possible to get further help by using the resources
available
at denyhosts.sourceforge.net.

2) Elsewhere, I've seen that one has to also edit the crontab
file.
Can I skip this and just do step 1?
I'd suggest that you make configuration customizations first
using Robert's
message and the denyhosts FAQ, then see whether denyhosts is
working using
the start and stop commands, then use launchd (Lingon handles
that well), or
cron, or the startup method of your choice.
3) Part of the instructions of step one involves the sshd_config
settings
PasswordAuthentication no
UsePAM yes
UseDNS no
If the UsePAM somehow doesn't work right, will setting
"PasswordAuthentication no" leave my computer open to random
logins?
I don't think so.
