Correct, this directory doesn't exist in a stock Cygwin install.

 From your other message I see you changed DENYHOSTS_LOCK, to follow the=20
standard I use:

DENYHOSTS_LOCK  =3D "/var/run/denyhosts.pid"

This file name has to match the one used installing the service (the=20
option -x).

No, it was a line continuation for the long command (bash interprets=20
those backslashes).
