Re: [Denyhosts-user] Start on boot

[Phil S. <phi...@us...>]

Assuming you are using the daemon-control script to start/stop DenyHosts 
(which is included in the DH package on Sourceforge)...

Try editing the daemon-control script and adding the line:

os.environ['HOSTNAME'] = "your_HOSTNAME_goes_here"

after line #33

Such that the file should look like this:

# make sure 'ps' command is accessible (which should be
# in either /usr/bin or /bin.  Modify the PATH so
# popen can find it
env = os.environ.get('PATH', "")
os.environ['PATH'] = "/usr/bin:/bin:%s" % env
os.environ['HOSTNAME'] = "your_HOSTNAME_goes_here" ## NEW LINE ##

STATE_NOT_RUNNING = -1
STATE_LOCK_EXISTS = -2




Regards,

Phil
