the thread on the fedora-list has pointed out that the denyhosts rpm
packaging by rpmforge is deficient when compared to the packaging done
in fedora extras which correlates to all the extra steps necessary in
your write up.

you might want to...

1 - provide a suggestion to rpmforge of the post-install scripts used in
the spec file of the fedora-extras packaging so rpmforge does the same

2 - provide a suggestion to rpmforge that they remove the fedora-core 4
& 5 packages since fedora-extras is packaging them already and there is
a conflict
