$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts.sh start I get the error below

$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts.sh start
Missing configuration parameter: DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID

Note: The configuration parameter DENY_THRESHOLD has been renamed
DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID. Please update your DenyHosts configuration
file to reflect this change.
Missing configuration parameter: DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID
Missing configuration parameter: DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT
Missing configuration parameter: DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED

Note: DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED has not been defined. Setting this
value to DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT

I've got the same problem on pfSense 1.2.3-RC1 with DenyHosts 0.5.

$ cp /usr/local/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg-dist /usr/local/etc/denyhosts.conf

Then edit /usr/local/etc/denyhosts.conf to set the parameters:

SECURE_LOG = /var/log/system.log
BLOCK_SERVICE = sshd

DenyHosts should work after that.

Also there is an alternative method:

$ rm /usr/local/etc/denyhosts*

And reinstall the package.

I just added the command you suggested:
rm /usr/local/etc/denyhosts*

To the package uninstall.

i have another problem:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts.sh start
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.4" not found, required by "python2.5"

but, i have file "libm.so.4" in /lib

ls -lh /lib/libm*

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 90K Jan 8 2009 /lib/libm.so.5
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 59K Jan 8 2009 /lib/libmd.so.4

I get:

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

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

heleniovix:

This is hackish but would probably work.
cp /lib/libm.so.5 /lib/libm.so.4

Then try again.

cp /lib/libm.so.5 /lib/libm.so.4

Then try again.

Or you can symlink it instead.
