Sorry, my mistake. I created a script, and the file had windows new lines... I always forget that with TextPad. But I did read the readme and now I have these files:
denyhosts.cfg daemon-control So the install/config seem to work. When I start this I get error (/var/log/denyhost.log): DenyHosts could not obtain lock (pid: ) [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lock/subsys/denyhosts' starting DenyHosts: /usr/bin/env python /usr/bin/denyhosts.py --daemon --config=/usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg The service will not start, just the above message in log. Here is what I run cygrunsrv -I DenyHosts -p /usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control -a start -d DenyHosts -f "DenyHosts 2.6" -y sshd -x /var/run/denyhosts.pid -o cygrunsrv -S DenyHosts I removed the \ in the "-a start option", it did not like that.

The installation showed where things are setup, most end up in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/DenyHosts, then there is /bin/denyhosts.py, and finally the 'workdir' /usr/share/denyhosts, do you see anything in there? Daemon-cotrol is a python script, in a listing it should show as executable (no extension)... oh, wait a minute, I see a daemon-control-dist maybe the installation steps included a copying of that one into daemon-control and then edit... yes, I forgot about it, but it is in the README.txt in that directory. Now about the first problem, I can't see where the '--' comes from, do you have a recent version of cygrunsrv? I see: $ cygrunsrv --version cygrunsrv V1.18, Jan 21 2008 And if you look at the options with 'cygrunsrv --help', all of them are correct. Of course there is a problem when 'daemon-control' doesn't exist. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
