Re: Nasty Fail2Ban update for Centos 7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Just a random stab in the dark, but CEntOS6 was iptables, and CentOS7 is 
firewalld.  They take different fail2ban packages.

CentOS6 = fail2ban
CentOS7 = fail2ban-firewalld

Are you sure you are running the correct fail2ban package for your 
firewall?  (I screwed this up myself before I noticed and fixed it...)

Good Luck!
Thanks,
