Summary

0004492: denyhosts is auto-activated under smf, but not configured completely

Description

After installation one will have the service in maintenance mode:

> svcs -xv
svc:/network/cswdenyhosts:default (?)
State: maintenance since 17. Juli 2010 03:58:56 MEST
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5 [^]
See: /var/svc/log/network-cswdenyhosts:default.log
Impact: This service is not running

I guess the reason is that the log file is not configured in
/etc/opt/csw/denyhosts.cfg

I think it is very sane to require any admin to think first about the correct configuration regarding the log files, but the service should not be auto-activated when it can not run from scratch.

This is especially an annoyance as the service is auto-activated for all zones. So all zones will have a service in maintenance.

I suggest that the service should not be auto-activated in zones or even the global zone.

Additional Information

> grep "^SECURE_LOG" /etc/opt/csw/denyhosts.cfg
SECURE_LOG = path to ssh log

(0010443) dam (administrator) 2013-06-21 15:52	This is changed to /var/log/authlog, but you still need to make the changes in syslog.conf as described in README.CSW. Please verify at http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#denyhosts [^]

(0010708) dam (administrator) 2014-02-14 15:53	This has been pushed to unstable/, need feedback, closing.
