Just a note that I (the maintainer of denyhosts in Fedora) had a
single report of something like this early in the Fedora 8 timeframe
that nobody could reproduce except the reporter.  I could never get
any reasonable type of debugging output that would show what was going
on.

I had originally assumed that it was a selinux issue, as attempts to
manually start things (from unconfined_t context) would work while
starting from init wouldn't.  But the information I could get
indicated that not to be the case.  Then I assumed it must have been a
timing issue; perhaps the daemon started too early and missed some
essential system component.  I never received any debugging info to
verify that, however.

I'm still completely stumped by this and would really love to figure
out what's going on here.

By the way, Fedora doesn't use the initscript included with denyhosts
as it was not translatable and did not output in the usual format, so
simply appending --debug won't really change anything.  You can put:
  DOPTS="$DOPTS --debug"
in /etc/sysconfig/denyhosts to accomplish the same thing.  I should
probably add a slightly simpler way to do that.
