Hello Rene!
First of all thanks.
I would never dig up a commandline like yours by myself :)
But again I ran into troubles
For absolutely sure reasons I have cleaned cygwin from my maschine of course
including
Sshd_server User Account
Sshd User Account
All Services from cygwin ( sshd, denyhosts, syslogd)
And deleted the whole subdirectory structure Cygwin.
Then I have done the following steps:
1.)ssh-host-config
with User Separation and install as a service
2.)
syslogd-config
3.) Installed Denyhosts by issuing the command as Administrator
python setup.py install
followed the first steps in the readme of denyhosts
and edited denyhost.cfg and daemon-control
denyhosts.cfg changes:
commented out the line for Red Hat
and activate the following line
SECURE_LOG = /var/log/messages
And also activated this one:
LOCK_FILE = /var/run/denyhosts.pid
OK so far - fine
When I try to start denyhosts by hand with this:
/usr/bin/denyhosts.py --daemon --config=/usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg
Everything is fine and denyhosts is running
But if I try to start it as a service it immediately stops after starting!
I installed the service with your suggestion:
cygrunsrv -I DenyHosts -p /usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control -a start -d
DenyHosts -f "DenyHosts 2.6" -y sshd -x /var/run/denyhosts.pid -o
I have looked into the /var/log/messages logfile when I start denyhosts as a
service - looks like this:
Jan 31 23:28:33 yello-server DenyHosts: PID 3868: `DenyHosts' service
stopped, exit status: 255
I have tried to run denyhosts as SYSTEM or as Administrator in the services
config - but with no luck!
What I have done wrong?
Best regards
Martin
