Thanks pdeschen, corrected it.

@George, sorry for very late reply to your comment, but if you need it now you can try downloading tarball and installing through it. I’ve updated instructions for that as well.

I tried installing DenyHosts-2.6-0.noarch on a new Amazon supported Linux AMIs (ami-1c07794e) which comes pre-configured with Python 2.6.5. All looked good but an attempt to install resulted in the following:

Error: Package: DenyHosts-2.6-0.noarch (/DenyHosts-2.6-python2.5)
Requires: python = 2.5
Installed: 1:python-2.6-1.19.amzn1.noarch (installed)
python = 1:2.6-1.19.amzn1
You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

Using the rpm –force option does not work either.

Thanks for this nice tutorial. I have spotted a small error:

chkconfig –add denyhosts

instead of

chkconfig –add denyhosts

double dash instead of hyphen. Must be the blog editor

Cheers
