this should goto the centos-docs mailing lists ( http://lists.centos.org
) and ultimately onto wiki.centos.org

I am not sure what you are talking about, the denyhosts is a python app
and goes into the right place ( under python2.3/site-packages/ ) and
only the docs go under /usr/share/docs - which is exactly where you
would look if you went looking for docs. The actual app entry python
file is /usr/bin/denyhosts.py which seems right to me.

propose what you want to add onto the wiki in the docs list, and read up
on the policy on howto contribute on the wiki.
