DenyHost 0.5.1 with pfsense 1.2.3
-
The package DenyHost 0.5.1 don't work out of the box on pfsense 1.2.3. I had to do the following to make it work :
Install Python 2.5 :
pkg_add -r pythonCopy DenyHost files to Python 2.5 location :
cp -R /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/DenyHosts/ /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/DenyHosts/Create /usr/local/etc/denyhosts.conf as it's not created by the package :

I tried this step-by-step and still can't get it up and running. I've been trying to get DenyHosts going since it "broke" ten months ago. Any other suggestions?

I tried this step-by-step and it seems to work DenyHost is up and running I see this in the log but i am not sure if its blocking because I see some errors.

Unfortunately the fix doesn't fix the problem. Denyhosts is undeniably broken and while I would love to see it fixed and working (really really love to see it) the package should probably be pulled from the distro as it stands.

Fault: <fault 1:="" "exceptions.keyerror:'timestamp'"=""></fault></fault>Looks like the problem is not python. From the FAQ Denyhosts was written for 2.3 and 2.4.
This might help someone but I don't use it because VPNs are a we bit safer ;)
DenyHosts requires Python v2.3 or later. If you are using an earlier version of Python then you should install a newer version of Python on your system. Multiple versions of Python can safely co-exist on your server so you do not need to worry about breaking any dependencies. You should obtain the latest version of Python and install it on your system. Depending on the method of download, your latest Python executable is typically installed in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.
If you downloaded version Python v2.3, then the executable is python2.3. If you downloaded Python v2.4 then the executable is python2.4.If you will be using DenyHosts in daemon mode, then you will need to edit the daemon-control-dist script. You will want to copy this file to "daemon-control" such that future DenyHosts upgrades will preserve your edits.
$ cp daemon-control-dist daemon-control
Assuming you installed Python v2.4 and the executable is in /usr/bin then you will need to make the following changes to your daemon-control script:
Line # From To
1 #!/usr/bin/env python #!/usr/bin/python2.4
18 PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/env python" PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/python2.4"
You may need to modify the above paths to reflect the actual installation location and version of Python that you installed.If you are not using DenyHosts in daemon mode then to execute DenyHosts you would do the following:
$ python2.4 denyhosts … args...
-or-
$ python2.3 denyhosts ... args...
