Description DariuszSki 2013-06-24 19:44:36 CEST

Description of problem:

With a clean install of Mageia3, I installed Denyhosts, but while it supposed to start at boot, it doesn't.

The following error is produced when looking at systemctl report;


denyhosts.service - LSB: Enable execution of denyhosts, an SSH log watcher
	  Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/denyhosts)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon, 2013-06-24 10:36:36 BST; 1min 53s ago
	 Process: 7120 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/denyhosts start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Denyhosts mga3

How reproducible:
Install Denyhosts from clean installation of Mageia3.

Comment 1 Adrien D 2013-06-24 23:46:57 CEST

I think you (the maintener of denyhosts package) add rsyslog as Requires ?

Because :

grep auth /etc/syslog.conf 
auth,authpriv.*                                 /var/log/auth.log
*.info;mail,news,authpriv.none                  -/var/log/messages
*.*;auth,authpriv.none                          -/var/log/syslog


urpmf /etc/syslog.conf
rsyslog:/etc/syslog.conf

Comment 2 Johnny A. Solbu 2013-07-12 19:17:16 CEST

I have uploaded an updated package for mageia 3.

Suggested Advisory:
========================
denyhosts doesn't start unless rsyslog is installed,
as denyhosts relies on log files in /var/log/.
This update fixes this.

========================
Updated packages in {core,tainted}/updates_testing:
denyhosts-2.6-4.1.mga3

Source RPM: 
denyhosts-2.6-4.1.mga3.src.rpm

Baah. I knew I forgot to edit something. 
Should read:
"Updated packages in core/updates_testing:"

Thanks Johnny, the validated_update keyword is what we add when we're ready to push so removing for now

Rebooted

Rebooted again

sudo systemctl | grep denyhosts
[sudo] password for spiky:

Rebooted

denyhosts.service         loaded active running       LSB: Enable execution of denyhosts, an SSH log watcher

I hope this test is sufficient.
