This is from my log file


Mar 13 21:05:01 - denyhosts   : INFO     restricted: set([])
Mar 13 21:05:01 - denyhosts   : INFO     Processing log file

Mar 13 21:05:01 - denyhosts   : INFO     denyhosts synchronization disabled

Does this really mean it starts and shuts down immediately.??

Or don't I  understand the log?

TIA
