I'm having difficulty getting DenyHosts working on Fedora Legacy.
Synopsis
Downloaded DenyHosts 2.6 source rpm, built and successfully installed the rpm.
Followed the configuration instructions. Starting was unsuccessful as it announced it
needed Python 2.3 or newer and suggested installing the most recent version of Python.
There is no more current rpm available for Fedora Core (Legacy) so I downloaded the
source tarball for Python 3.1 following the instructions for doing the build when
another version exists. I created daemon-control as instructed in the readme noting
the one changed line:
[root at Beaker denyhosts]# diff daemon-control daemon-control-dist
1c1
< #!/usr/local/bin/python3.0
---
> #!/usr/bin/env python
18c18
< PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/local/bin/python3.0"
---
> PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/env python"
As instructed in the /usr/share/denyhosts/README.txt, I ran the first step:
[root at Beaker denyhosts]# python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'DenyHosts' does not exist
Possible problems.
I got the source rpm here:
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131204&package_id=143910&release_id=469508>
I noted the presence of:
DenyHosts-2.6-1.src.rpm Platform-Independent
DenyHosts-2.6-python2.3.noarch.rpm Platform-Independent
DenyHosts-2.6-python2.4.noarch.rpm Platform-Independent
DenyHosts-2.6-python2.5.rpm None
As previously stated, I selected the src rpm, built and installed the result. But
maybe something specific for Python versions must be done? Here's the info and file
list from the installed rpm:
[root at Beaker denyhosts]# rpm -qil DenyHosts-2.6-1

Noting that the DenyHosts directory and contents. I created that in the python3.0
structure by just copying the files:

Checking the rights on the two locations for the site packages:
[root at Beaker denyhosts]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/python3.0/site-packages/ | grep Deny
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 05:25 DenyHosts
[root at Beaker denyhosts]# ls -l /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ | grep Deny
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 20 2008 DenyHosts
Any suggestions?
