Hello all
I've created an rpm for DenyHosts http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/
which I find pretty useful. A brief synopsis first:
Summary: DenyHosts is a utility to help sys admins thwart ssh hackers
Description:
DenyHosts is a python program that automatically blocks ssh attacks by
adding entries to /etc/hosts.deny. DenyHosts will also inform Linux
administrators about offending hosts, attacked users and suspicious logins.
I'm pretty inexperienced at rpm building, still learning really, and I was
wondering if someone could take a look at the source rpm I've created and let
me know if it's ok. You can find it here:
http://www.craigmillar.org/DenyHosts-2.4b-5.src.rpm
I'm attaching the spec file at the end of this message as well.
My main concern with the spec file is that I'd like the main executable to be
renamed denyhosts from denyhosts.py. I tried the following lines:
ln -sf ../../usr/bin/denyhosts.py $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_prefix/bin/denyhosts
This works - but results in denyhosts and denyhosts.py in /usr/bin, so this
is in the linked to version.
mv ../../usr/bin/denyhosts.py $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_prefix/bin/denyhosts
This doesn't work at all, which baffles me somewhat, as it's referencing the
same directory. Bah.
Finally, if this package is considered useful, how do I go about submitting
it for wider use? I can't promise to maintain it, but I think it's a pretty
nifty tool that would be of benefit to others.
Thanks for any responses
Craig
