unconditionally starts DenyHosts as a daemon in /etc/logrotate.d/denyhosts

[Sascha Silbe]

Binary package hint: denyhosts

We run DenyHosts as a cron job and have deactivated the DenyHosts daemon using update-rc.d and insserv.
Every once in a while, DenyHosts gets started in daemon mode anyway and causes the cron jobs to fail. Today I finally figured out why:

sunjammer:/etc# cat logrotate.d/denyhosts
/var/log/denyhosts {
        create 0640 root adm
        missingok
        weekly
        rotate 7
        compress
        postrotate
                /etc/init.d/denyhosts restart > /dev/null
        endscript
}
sunjammer:/etc#

Not only does it use /etc/init.d/<foo> directly instead of calling invoke-rc.d, but it also starts a daemon that has been explicitly configured not to start.
