RE: Stop Brute Force Attack on SSH


Yes I have this now:

DENYHOSTS_BIN   = "/usr/bin/denyhosts.py"
DENYHOSTS_LOCK  = "/var/run/denyhosts"
DENYHOSTS_CFG   = "/usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg"

I changed the lock dir, same issue.

Sorry, replied directly before noticing this message.

The second problem is caused by a step I forgot, which is documented in 
the installation instructions /usr/share/denyhosts/README.txt: you have 
to copy daemon-control-dist to the script used and edit (if necessary) 
the 3 lines about location of things.

The first problem is probably caused by the second one.  Let me know if 
it's still a problem and I'll check further.
