Hi All,
Okay -- the files below (pointed out in Robert's message) were
all found to be in place. Also, based on the thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.denyhosts.user/397/focus=399
I changed:
SECURE_LOG = /var/log/asl.log to SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure.log
I also commented out the statement SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX=
Then, I ran the way Alexander did:
sudo denyhosts-py25.py -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25/denyhosts.cfg --daemon
It now appears that denyhosts finds the denyhosts.cfg file. However,
I get the error:
DenyHosts could not obtain lock (pid: 112)
[Errno 17] File exists: '/sw/var/run/denyhosts-py25.pid'
I think I might be getting closer but don't know what to do with
this. Any ideas??
thanks,
g

Glenn,
On my 10.4 system, I used these two files:
file 1:
$ cat /Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/daemonic-
denyhosts-py25
#!/bin/sh
# startup script for service denyhosts-py25, created by daemonic
. /etc/rc.common
case "$1" in
start)
ConsoleMessage "Starting Denyhosts-py25"
if [ -x /sw/bin/python2.5 ]; then
# run the daemon
/sw/bin/python2.5 /sw/share/denyhosts-py25/daemon-control-dist
start --debug -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25/denyhosts.cfg &
fi
;;
esac
exit 0
=====
file 2:
$ cat /Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/
StartupParameters.plist
{
Description = "Denyhosts-py25";
Provides = ("daemonic-denyhosts-py25");
Requires = ("Resolver");
OrderPreference = "None";
Messages =
{
start = "Starting Denyhosts-py25";
stop = "Stopping Denyhosts-py25";
restart = "Restarting Denyhosts-py25";
};
}
====
Note the locations of the files and mind the line-wraps. You'll see
that
the location of the denyhosts.cfg file must be specified and that
python
was being invoked since DenyHosts is essentially just a python script.
Also, most or all of these files should be present on your system:
$ locate deny
/Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25
/Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/StartupParameters.plist
/Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/daemonic-denyhosts-py25
/private/etc/hosts.deny
/private/etc/hosts.deny.purge.bak
/private/var/at/at.deny
/sw/fink/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/denyhosts-py.info
/sw/fink/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/denyhosts-py.patch
/usr/lib/pam/pam_deny.so
Keep us posted. By the way, are you using 10.4 or 10.5?

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,
