Re: Stop Brute Force Attack on SSH

The install worked great. But when I try to create the service:

cygrunsrv -I DenyHosts -p /usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control -a start -d
DenyHosts -f "DenyHosts 2.6"  -y sshd -x /var/run/denyhosts.pid -o

I get this:

cygrunsrv: unknown option --

Also, this does not exist:

/usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control

Sorry, replied directly before noticing this message.


The second problem is caused by a step I forgot, which is documented in the installation instructions /usr/share/denyhosts/README.txt: you have to copy daemon-control-dist to the script used and edit (if necessary) the 3 lines about location of things.

The first problem is probably caused by the second one. Let me know if it's still a problem and I'll check further.
