[Denyhosts-user] DenyHosts bug and a question or two

[Steven F. <sj...@ct...>]

Denyhosts List:

It appears that "/usr/local/sbin/daemon_control stop" does not work.
It returns a statement that denyhosts is not running -- even though it is.
(And the pid file does exist, and is correct.)

Also, where does one set the "--purge" flag such that it is
automatically applied when the system boots.

It is my understanding that purged IPs will be re-added if the
attacker becomes active again (anywhere) -- and will not be purged if
the attacker has been active anywhere within the PURGE_DENY period. Is
this the way it works?

(By "anywhere" I mean anywhere that is reported to your network -- as
opposed to an attack on my system specifically)

Thanks,
sjf
