And, Great, see if you can make it work with vsftpd and that would seem to be one of the biggest things I can think of to document. - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net/

The actual app entry python file is /usr/bin/denyhosts.py which seems right to me.> I'd like to of course script this specifically for centos.

My Denyhosts installation falls under /usr/share/denyhosts, not /usr/share/docs. The docs are installed to there, which they should be. The executable is then under /usr/bin/denyhosts.py, which seems fine to me too. My RPM is from RPMforge (Dag). I've been running it just fine for a long time.

Hi, after reading the docs (no man page) and seeing a few example howtos, I see none for Centos specifically. I hereby offer to write this and even host it, and any other wiki-able howto you want, if you can school me on the first few steps relevant to how to link up the current rpmforge rpm for RHEL4-64. See, right now, the one for centos loads into the /usr/share/doc, which is an odd place to stash an executable, -logic perhaps being you just symlink however you want. Now having a time to spare, I appeal to you with paypal beer $. I'd like to of course script this specifically for centos. I have firewall rules and other protections, but it's (denyhosts) too cool to pass up. reminds me a bit of portsentry, or whatever they call it now, tri-sentry, maybe it's quad-sentry now or... I can also trade you some mega-spiffy ultra-detailed centos build scripts for tomcat servers, squid machines, etc. -krb
I am running denyhosts and it loaded with no problems on a centos host.. I am not sure what you mean about a centos specific script??? -ed- On Mar 12, 2007, at 7:27 PM, Karl R.
