I thought the security/denyhosts port looked good, even if just to slim down that report I get every day about the hundreds of SSH attempts...
And, hey, reporting back to denyhosts HQ and letting them notify the sysadmins of hacked boxen is a lot better than me doing it by hand. Only problem is, I'm stuck at Step 1: cd /usr/ports/security/denyhosts [EMAIL PROTECTED] make clean ===> Cleaning for python-2.4.1_3 ===> Cleaning for denyhosts-2.6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] make ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> Extracting for denyhosts-2.6 => Checksum OK for DenyHosts-2.6.tar.gz. ===> Patching for denyhosts-2.6 ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for denyhosts-2.6 -e:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/denyhosts. I thought maybe I was missing Python, but I went and installed that, and it's in pkg_info Actually, I should also point out that I had to do portsnap fetch and portsnap extract just to get security/denyhosts to show up... Maybe I wasn't supposed to do that?... Or is there another package it relies on that I'm missing? I tried reading the Makefile and there's a PYDISTUTILS requirement... Couldn't find anything obvious with 'locate' and variations on that theme, nor with ports make search key=pydistutils I also tried looking at the work/DenyHosts-2.6/daemon-control-dist.* files, as a second attempt to make (without a make clean) complained: ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for denyhosts-2.6 Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch. 1 out of 1 hunks ignored--saving rejects to daemon-control-dist.rej => Patch patch-daemon-control-dist failed to apply cleanly. *** Error code 1 But make clean "fixed" that, so it's probably a red herring. Nothing in the files I looked at seemed horribly wrong, but I can't claim to know what should be there in the first place. I've Googled some for this, but mostly find tutorials the seem to think the "make" is just gonna work. I guess I could just compile from source, but I do prefer to use ports whenever possible. So is this port just borked, or is it just me, or...? -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
