I just did so, but I found fail2ban significantly harder to configure, largely because there's no explicit documentation on what the default configuration is on install. You have to read the config files and figure it out from the man pages, which suffer from the same fault as many such pages, i.e. they are written for people who already know how it all works and just need a reminder. One example: the term 'jail' is used without ever being defined, and in a way inconsistent with other uses in Linux such as 'root jail'. In the end I just had to add a simple jail.local file, but it took a while to discover that. Denyhosts was much easier IIRC. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
