Package: denyhosts
Version: 2.6-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
If you change the value of HOSTS_DENY in /etc/denyhosts.conf, the
dh_reenable script will not work properly because the default value of
/etc/hosts.deny is hard-coded into the dh_reenable script.
dh_reenable should parse the /etc/denyhosts.conf for the correct value,
rather than hard-coding it. I am including a patch that does this,
allowing for greater flexibility.
