Hi,
I could not find any where the documentation the only best which I got
was
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSecurityTools

My question is the following blog says to remove an IP from
/etc/hosts.deny which denyhost has blocked



http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-delete-remove-ip-address-that-denyhosts-blocked/
you need to have a directory /usr/share/denyhosts/data
I do not find any such directory

Also when I tried to check  tcp wrapper configuration
as given here

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/block-ssh-attacks-with-denyhosts/

tcpdchk -v
Cannot find your inetd.conf or tlid.conf file.
Please specify its location.

what does the above output mean?
How do I make sure denyhosts is doing its job?

http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#3_19
Which seems to me to be /var/lib/denyhosts
What is WORK_DIR which your link is saying?
A parameter in the configuration file

Which one are you referring I opened /etc/denyhosts.conf
but
E486: Pattern not found: WORK_DENY
It's WORK_DIR not work_deny
like the line

WORK_DIR=  /var/lib/denyhosts
