I'm running fail2ban on my server (under CentOS-6.4)
and it seems to be running according to
-------------------------
[tim@grover fail2ban]$ sudo service fail2ban status
Fail2ban (pid 31794) is running...
Status
|- Number of jail: 1
`- Jail list: ssh-iptables
-------------------------
I have absolutely no idea how fail2ban works,
and I'm running it with the default /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf ,
which seems to set the logfile to /var/log/fail2ban.log .
Should I actually study how it is meant to be configured?
I just yum-installed it (from Epel, I assume)
and hope it does its job, whatever that is.
Incidentally, I am running shorewall on this server.
Should I tell shorewall something about fail2ban,
or vice versa?
