Can you tell me how to check for the running daemon? I do "top" but don't see anything obvious. Also, can I stop the existing daemon and restart with the new cfg file?
thanks,

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
That would make me suspect that the daemon is already running for you, and it won't let you do a second instance.
