I will try to post some notes tomorrow, but I think I posted a how to
last month or so on this list.
1- you must use gamin as the setting or the log rotations will make
fail2ban fail
2- you must add a sleep command in the config files in
usr/share/fail2ban or using more than one jail can cause a failure of
1 or more jails when starting up..(too fast for netfilter version that
comes with centos 6)
I do not have my notes with me now, but without those two things it will
not work...period...at least not correctly.
If you search google you can find the sleep command...but there are like
7 different ways people did it for different
linux distros and versions of fail2ban.
the jails are not so bad...
I will post what I figured out tomorrow after work..
It is a very trying program. It is a neat idea though.
