I have been using denyhosts for a while, and I migrated to the ebuild recently. But I found this annoying; because the initscript has "needs logger", then it is stopped and started again when the logger is restarted. I am using logrotate to rotate quick filling logs every night (not the denyhosts logs), but during this process, denyhosts gets restarted, and the denyhosts log is filled with ~35 lines of initialization logs. This makes the *real* information from the logs incomprehensible. I temporarily solved this by removing "logger" from the needs part. In fact, denyhosts runs fine without a logger on :) and this modification saved my logs from being cluttered. I am not knowledged much about initscripts, but changing "needs logger" to "uses logger" may help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install and run denyhosts ebuild 2. if logger is restarted regularly for some reason 3. Actual Results: denyhosts logs are filled with initialization information, making it impossible to spot denied and purged hosts information (main purpose of the log ) Expected Results: the logs should be still in a human readable comlexity (denied and purged hosts only)
fixed in cvs, thanks for reporting. Note there is no version bump for this so you will have to emerge sync and remerge denyhosts to get the change.
