#35477: denyhosts exits (2) in MacOS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) -------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: ktekinay@… | Owner: snc@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: mountainlion Port: denyhosts | -------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by ktekinay@…): I found the problem. DenyHosts previously worked by scanning the /var/log/secure.log, but, in Mountain Lion, ''there is no more secure.log''. It's been rolled into the general logging utility asl so entries will only appear in system.log. To fix it, I had to add/modify these entries in the config: SECURE_LOG=/private/var/log/system.log USERDEF_FAILED_ENTRY_REGEX=.*?sshd\[\d+\]: error: PAM: authentication error for (?P<user>[^ ]+) from (?P<host>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}) USERDEF_FAILED_ENTRY_REGEX=.*?sshd\[\d+\]: error: PAM: unknown user for illegal user (?P<user>[^ ]+) from (?P<host>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}) I have not tested these yet to make sure it works as expected, but at least it doesn't exit on startup anymore. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35477#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
