Description:   Opened: 2005-11-03 10:09 0000
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)

------- Comment #1 From Benjamin Smee (strerror) 2005-11-03 12:00:10 0000 -------
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.
