I changed it to the normal path /var/run/denyhost.pid But when it starts it stall says the same error: DenyHosts could not obtain lock (pid: ) [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lock/subsys/denyhosts' I change the -x option to /var/run/denyhost.pid , still same issue I run the command not as service, just command. /usr/share/denyhosts/daemon-control start Same issue I removed the service and rebooted the machine, same issue I create the dir/file name, /var/lock/subsys/denyhosts, same issue. I search there the files and registry for sybsys and could not find it. Not sure what to do next. Besides the pid file, all looks good.
