      This is still not fixed. I have uninstalled twice and reinstalled. Still will not start with this error:

      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts.sh start

      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts.sh: /usr/local/bin/python2.5: not found

        Is another version of python installed. From the console or diagnostics -> command run:

        ps -waux | grep python

              Try this.
              pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.com/packages/lang/python25-2.5_1.tbz

              or

              cd /tmp/
              fetch http://files.pfsense.com/packages/lang/python25-2.5_1.tbz
              pkg_add -r python25-2.5_1.tbz

              or

              pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.com/packages/security/denyhosts-2.5.tbz

              All of these methods should install python on your system.

                I found this topic after having the same issue on a fresh 1.2.2 install.  I updated to 1.2.3 RC3 with the same result.  There is no python2.5 installed, but there is python 2.4.

                Whether I make a symlink of python2.4 called 2.5 or I fetch and install it, there are still a ton of unmet dependencies.  I kept symlinking libraries and eventually it just wouldn't work at all.

                The dependencies are all newer than what's installed.  Should I be using a snapshot of pfsense instead of the 1.2.x branch?

                  I am not getting any love from this denyhost package on this firewall.  I have it working on other pfsense firewalls.  My bigger concern is why this package would work on one PF firewall and not on the other PF firewall, they are the same 1.2.3 release?

                  Did this:
                  pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.com/packages/lang/python25-2.5_1.tbz

                  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts.sh start

                  /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.5" not found, required by "python2.5"

                  Current:

                  pkg_info

                  bsdinstaller-2.0.2009.0422 BSD Installer mega-package
                  denyhosts-2.5      Script to thwart ssh attacks
                  grub-0.97_1        GRand Unified Bootloader
                  libosip-3.1.0      A low layer of SIP implementation
                  python24-2.4.3_3    An interpreted object-oriented programming language
                  python25-2.5_1      An interpreted object-oriented programming language
                  python26-2.6.4      An interpreted object-oriented programming language

                  The firewall in my lab works with the following packages installed:

                  $ pkg_info
                  darkstat-3.0.708    Network statistics gatherer and reporter
                  denyhosts-2.5      Script to thwart ssh attacks
                  gettext-0.17_1      GNU gettext package
                  python24-2.4.3_3    An interpreted object-oriented programming language
                  smtpd-2.0_4        Obtuse smtpd/smtpfwdd, part of the Juniper firewall toolkit
                  spamd-4.1.2        Traps spammers with a very slow smtp-login and return 4xx e

                  Both firewalls have the same release:

                  uname -r

                  7.2-RELEASE-p5

                    I've upgraded to 1.2.3-Release, SAME issues still.

                    I've run:

                    Try this.
                    pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.com/packages/lang/python25-2.5_1.tbz

                    or

                    cd /tmp/
                    fetch http://files.pfsense.com/packages/lang/python25-2.5_1.tbz
                    pkg_add -r python25-2.5_1.tbz

                    or

                    pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.com/packages/security/denyhosts-2.5.tbz

                    All i get is "No such host or file" then it aborts. I am able to ping files.pfsense.com, so it is out there….at this point I have given up and removed it. I'll try a few things on my "lab" pf box..this way I won't foo-bar my production environment like I have already fuddleing with this package.

                    I'll still take suggestions on a solution...I'll just run it on the lab box instead....:)

                      I reported this same problem here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,21420.msg109904.html#msg109904

                      What's interesting is the program crashed on its own. It's been running since February (almost a year) without a single problem and now it's dead. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it various ways and it will not start. I have no idea what caused it to shut down. The only package I toyed with was updating to the last snort-dev earlier this week. Don't know if it's related or not.

                        Any ideas as to why I can no longer get denyhosts to start?
