Ceriel, On my MacBookPro, I check for denyhosts instances with: $ ps -A | grep deny 135 ?? 0:13.21 /sw/bin/python2.5 /sw/bin/denyhosts-py25.py --daemon -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25/denyhosts.cfg 5573 ttys000 0:00.00 grep deny
(I use the denyhosts from finkproject.org.) Also, my log file is at /sw/var/log/denyhosts-py25 (which can be found with $ locate denyhosts). (I'm suggesting that your log file may also be in a place you're not expecting and that's why you don't see it.) --Robert Ceriel Jacobs wrote: > I don't think that there is another DenyHosts process running.
