Summary:                    denyhosts is auto-activated under smf, but not
configured completely
Description: 
After installation one will have the service in maintenance mode:

> svcs -xv
svc:/network/cswdenyhosts:default (?)
 State: maintenance since 17. Juli 2010 03:58:56 MEST
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5
   See: /var/svc/log/network-cswdenyhosts:default.log
Impact: This service is not running

I guess the reason is that the log file is not configured in
/etc/opt/csw/denyhosts.cfg

I think it is very sane to require any admin to think first about the
correct configuration regarding the log files, but the service should not
be auto-activated when it can not run from scratch.

This is especially an annoyance as the service is auto-activated for all
zones. So all zones will have a service in maintenance.

I suggest that the service should not be auto-activated in zones or even
the global zone.
