Description Juan Magallon 2017-01-27 00:23:48 CET

In shipped denyhosts.conf, the pid file is set as:

LOCK_FILE = /var/run/denyhosts.pid

But in systemd service file, it is named like:

PIDFile=/var/run/denyhosts

So systemd awaits forever for the PID file to appear...

Besides that, in one of my systems journalctl happened to not being
redirected to syslog, so auth.log got no log for failed ssh login attempts.
Is there an easy way for this package on install to check that journal
is correctly forwarded to syslog ?
Or perhaps denyhosts can read a journald/systemd log instead of auth.log ?

TIA

It looks like the systemd unit bug is corrected in version 3.1 upstream
(cauldron has 3.0).
Could we have it updated ?

Thanks.

Sorry for the long delay.
Should be fixed in Cauldron. Just pushed the new version.

You need to start rsyslog. It should be installed as a dependency, but you need to enable it.
