(In reply to comment #0) > The default configuration of fail2ban will try to mail the system administrator (snip) > 2. Change /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf to enable the ssh-iptables jail (and change > the mail address in there to your own) Just my $0.02, but the default configuration makes no assumptions about the presence of any helper programs. You enabled a jail that required mail, whois, and iptables. I might only use a jail that requires none of these programs to be installed. There are any number of programs that fail2ban MIGHT call if the corresponding jail is enabled, and IMHO it would be bad to depend on all of them. i fully agree with latest comment. Argue if you disagree. Closing without activity on that bug. |
