Hi Glenn, Ahh. I had upgraded to -py26 a month or so ago so I didn't have those mixed -pyXX issues (in fact, I've been considering undoing the -pyXX variants on this package because it is a program not a library, but haven't done the legwork to see whether it is really feasible--that is, can I really do it without breaking it?).
You should try this to invoke your daemon from the command line: sudo /sw/bin/denyhosts-py26.py --daemon -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py26/denyhosts.cfg (all on one line) Your issue may be that after bootstrapping your new fink installation (which I presume is what you did) your path was not (re-)set correctly. You may need to run the pathsetup script from inside your fink bootstrap folder (pathsetup must be run manually when bootstrapping). (I ran it as sudo, but I think that was superfluous because I believe the script invokes sudo where appropriate.) And of course you know that any old .pid files need to be deleted before you can run a new instance so I don't think that was the problem. I have not witnessed an attack since the new build, so I'm not yet certain that it is REALLY working, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. If not, I'll actually test it. --Robert Glenn Millhauser wrote: > Hi Robert, > This is fantastic. Many thanks.
