Description:
My request is to create a file /etc/conf.d/denyhosts that will be read from /etc/rc.d/denyhosts to be able to start with denyhosts.py with other flag. For example --purge.


from http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#purge: DenyHosts v0.8.0 (and greater) offers the ability to remove old entries from the HOSTS_DENY file (eg. /etc/hosts.deny). You must set the PURGE_DENY parameter in your configuration file and invoke DenyHosts with the --purge command line flag:

$ denyhosts.py --purge

[...]

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.6-4
This task depends upon

Not sure why I'm the maintainer of denyhosts, heh... Eric and dsa were the last to touch it. Not sure if you guys want to maintain it or not (I can orphan it). If not, let me know and I can get to this

I don't want to maintain it. I just built the x86_64 package.

sorry, I see this

$ denyhosts.py --daemon Note:
The following command line flags are ignored when --daemon is used: --file, --verbose, --migrate, --purge

I think that my request is stupid :-p

Hmmm, so a conf.d file might not be all that useful. Should we close this report then?

sure. Most of the options (including the one in this request) don't work with the daemon.
