My guess is that your system crashed or denyhosts was otherwise terminated abnormally, this will result in a leftover pid file which will effectively stop denyhosts from starting.
To check this you would do something like: 1) cat /var/run/denyhosts.pid This will tell you whether there is a value in that field. If there is a value there then do: 2) ps -A | grep deny Does anything show up besides 'grep deny'? If no, then do: 3) sudo rm /var/run/denyhosts.pid ... and then restart your daemon. If you do not find a value in step 1, then stop and let us know. If you do find a value in step 2 besides grep deny, then stop and let us know. --Robert Nabbox wrote: > Thank you. > > I tried your solution, but nothing, look the result : > > 20:57 r...@srv /var/run# start-stop-daemon --start --verbose --pidfile > /var/run/denyhosts.pid --exec /usr/sbin/denyhosts -- > Starting /usr/sbin/denyhosts... > > But no (wanring) when I just stop, then start the service. > > (warning) appears only when I make a "restart". > > Thank you. > > 2009/5/25 Chupacerveza <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> > > Try starting the daemon in verbose mode (I think it is the -v > option) and see if there are other messages. > > Nabbox wrote: > > Good day all, > > However, I have a question because I have found nowhere an > answer on this in different website. > > I just installed Denyhosts 2.3 on 2 servers, Debian Etch and > Debian Lenny. > > Everything seems ok, however, I have two different messages > depending on the version used in Debian. > > For Lenny: > > Restarting DenyHosts *(warning)*. > Stopping DenyHosts: denyhosts. > Starting DenyHosts: denyhosts. > Done *(warning)*. > > For Etch: > > * Restarting DenyHosts > Stopping DenyHosts: denyhosts. > Starting DenyHosts: denyhosts. > * Done > > My question is simple: what does (warning) mean for Lenny?
