Im seeing similar problems. The init script says there was a problem starting it, but its running. This also means the init script cannot be used to stop it either.
yes this is a start-stop daemon bug it uses the wrong procedure to getting the pid /bin/pidof -x denyhosts
svrmarty: Can you file a bug against the start-stop daemon regarding this issue? I am not familiar enough with the start-stop daemon to do it myself.
Note that the discussion for Bug 244700 provides a workaround for the problem
python herd: Is there a sane way to use start-stop-daemon with python applications (except adding --background, as trac does)? Do you have recommendations?
