Assuming you are using the daemon-control script to start/stop DenyHosts
(which is included in the DH package on Sourceforge)...
Try editing the daemon-control script and adding the line:
os.environ['HOSTNAME'] = "your_HOSTNAME_goes_here"
after line #33
Such that the file should look like this:
# make sure 'ps' command is accessible (which should be
# in either /usr/bin or /bin. Modify the PATH so
# popen can find it
env = os.environ.get('PATH', "")
os.environ['PATH'] = "/usr/bin:/bin:%s" % env
os.environ['HOSTNAME'] = "your_HOSTNAME_goes_here" ## NEW LINE ##
STATE_NOT_RUNNING = -1
STATE_LOCK_EXISTS = -2
