Much obliged.
And it looked like I accidentally added a leading space to the quoted string
in daemon-control for the lock file. The "stop" command seems to work now.
Thanks!

To cleanse the IP address from DenyHosts do the following:
- Stop DH
- cd to your DH WORK_DIR
- edit each file containing the ip address (grep "THE_IP_ADDR" *)
- remove the ip from each file, save them
- Start DH
Eventually, I'll add a remove IP facility (or add'l script to perform this
for you in an easier way).
As for the "isn't running" issue:
(1)
What is the path of DENYHOSTS_LOCK is daemon-control (approx line 15 of
the script)?
(2)
What is the value of the LOCK_FILE in your denyhosts.cfg?
If (1) and (2) aren't the same, modify one to match the other.

Phil
