Ensure that the DENYHOST_LOCK is the same in both your denyhosts.cfg
and daemon-control. Assuming that is the case...
The daemon control script uses 2 methods for determining if the process is
running. If you have a /proc directory it will attempt to retrieve this
information from /proc/PID (where PID is the process id stored in
DENYHOSTS_LOCK). Is this not applicable to Ubuntu?
It seems like you might have a /proc directory w/o the PID entry. This is
similar to Debian. If this is the case, can you tell me what the
following produces:
$ python
import sys ; sys.platform
The other method DenyHosts uses, if the /proc directory doesn't exist is
to use the command "ps -p PID" to determine if the process is running.
Does this command not work on your system?
If a process exists, ps -p does this:
$ ps -p 1
PID TTY TIME CMD
1 ? 00:00:02 init
Otherwise:
$ ps -p 99999
PID TTY TIME CMD
In the meantime, if this method works for you you can change the line in
daemon-control:
if not sys.platform.startswith('freebsd') and os.access("/proc", os.F_OK):
to:
if False:
which will force the 2nd method to be used rather than relying on
/proc/PID.

I believe I have set everything up correctly but when I run either the link
in /etc/init.d or the daemon-control in /usr/local/share/denyhosts it does
not detect that I have a running instance. A quick ps -afe | grep deny shows
that I do. Other than this it is running correctly, I just can't use the
delivered scripts to shut it down, check status or restart it.
I changed the DENYHOSTS_LOCK in daemon-control from its default (looking in
subsys which is empty on my system) to:
DENYHOSTS_LOCK = "/var/run/denyhosts.pid"
Any idea how I can help the script detect the running instance?
I am using Ubuntu 6.06 if that helps. Thanks in advance and fantastic piece
of programming :).
