Your workaround can't work on a debian system. But I can confirm that on my machine I've more than one version of Python installed $ python -V Python 2.3.5 And I can also confirm that if I link /usr/bin/python to correct version of python2.4, it works fine. $ which python /usr/bin/python $ ls -alh /usr/bin/python lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2006-04-04 11:45 /usr/bin/python -> python2.3 $ sudo rm /usr/bin/python $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python $ sudo /etc/init.d/denyhosts start Starting DenyHosts: denyhosts. $ ps -ef | grep denyhosts root 13823 1 0 18:37 ? 00:00:00 python /usr/bin/denyhosts --daemon --config=/etc/denyhosts.conf Now I've an idea about the problem and I can take the "right way" to close this bug. Thanks a lot. Pascal, I think to close this bug ASAP, but you can use this little workaround to have denyhosts working with python2.4 Cheers, [1] I've not send you my init script because I use "start-stop-daemon" that is only parts of Debian and can't be used on other distribution. -- Marco Bertorello System Administrator Linux Registered User #319921
