#2 No module named DenyHosts.python_version
I followed all of the steps for installation from this
site (except the `update-rc.d denyhosts defaults`
command since I'm using CentOS):
http://www.howtoforge.com/preventing_ssh_dictionary_attacks_with_denyhosts
I get an error when I try to run DenyHosts:
root@duck [/usr/local/bin]# /etc/init.d/denyhosts start
starting DenyHosts: /usr/bin/env python
/usr/local/bin/denyhosts.py --daemon
--config=/usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/denyhosts.py", line 5, in ?
import DenyHosts.python_version
ImportError: No module named DenyHosts.python_version
in my /usr/local/bin/denyhosts.py the first line is:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
I tried changing this (even to incorrect paths) and I
still get the same error. I know this is the correct path:
root@duck [/usr/local/bin]# ls -la

I also tried with /usr/local/bin/python2.4 and get the
same error.
I'm stuck with this error. Any advice would be great.

I have the same error. Using Centos with Cpanel.

Well, I fixed the problem. Apparently, I had to do this:
In the daemon-control file, I edited it with this line
PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/env python"
changed to
PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/env python2.4"
That's all I had to do. No other editing.
Oh, and a nonrelated issue is in denyhosts.cfg where in stock
configuration the SECURE_LOG declaration for the Macintosh wasn't
uncommented. Just added a # to comment out. if you don't,
you'll get an error that isn't of the focus of this discussion.

I had the same problem, I solved it by executing denyhosts.py explicity "/usr/local/bin/python2.3 /usr/local/bin/denyhosts.py" and that worked then.

Using the suggestion made on 2006-11-08, I got this to work. Thanks for all your comments.

I have the same Problem!
Installed Python 2.5 and denyhosts 2.6.
When ich will get started, i became this error:
starting DenyHosts: /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/denyhosts.py --daemon --config=/usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/denyhosts.py", line 6, in <module>
import DenyHosts.python_version
ImportError: No module named DenyHosts.python_version
I have changed Line 1&18 to the correkt Files:
/usr/local/bin/python2.5
It will not correctly works:(
The suggestion made on 2006-11-08 will not help me.
Excuse me for my english;)
The error is caused from not having the denyhosts files in the correct directory
./site-packages/DenyHosts/
Using the install script provided when you have multiple python installations won't work. For example it did this:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/DenyHosts/denyfileutil.py
When it should have done this:
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/DenyHosts/denyfileutil.py
I have modified the README.txt file to reflect what worked for me.
<http://eucleides.com/~paul/DenyHosts/README.txt>
and modified the answer to FAQ question 1.9:
<http://eucleides.com/~paul/DenyHosts/faq.html#1_9>
I also wrote the author but have not received a response.
