Topic: Problem installing denyhosts

I'm trying to install the denyhosts contrib on an SME 7.5.1 machine. Keep coming up with this error:

Code: [Select]

[root@huntmaster ~]# yum install smeserver-denyhosts --enablerepo=smecontribs

Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks Mary. I missed that, and must have been searching with the wrong terms, since it didn't come up when I searched.

Hmm. Just ran the command, but I'm getting another error now:

Code: [Select]

[root@huntmaster ~]# yum --disablerepo=base --disablerepo=updates update

Any ideas on that one?

Thanks again. It worked, eventually. Oddly enough, out of the 9 SME servers I look after at the moment, only 2 had problems (both on the same network, one gateway, one file server).

I'll have to find time to visit the forum more often - missed the original announcement completely.
