Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: denyhosts
We run DenyHosts as a cron job and have deactivated the DenyHosts daemon using
update-rc.d and insserv.
Every once in a while, DenyHosts gets started in daemon mode anyway and causes
the cron jobs to fail. Today I finally figured out why:
sunjammer:/etc# cat logrotate.d/denyhosts
/var/log/denyhosts {
create 0640 root adm
missingok
weekly
rotate 7
compress
postrotate
/etc/init.d/denyhosts restart > /dev/null
endscript
}
sunjammer:/etc#
Not only does it use /etc/init.d/<foo> directly instead of calling
invoke-rc.d, but it also starts a daemon that has been explicitly
configured not to start.
