Hello-- I haven't done it on enough kernels and different OS's to be certain it is a general problem, or a version problem, or what, but.... When I fire up fail2ban with a set of jails all using iptables to block, one of the jails will usually not get set up correctly, as if the commands to create chains, rules, etc, were ignored or lost. If I introduce a sleep before each jail is created, such that no two jails will be created and set up at the same time, then all the problems go away. This is on CentOS 5.5/5.6. Am I alone and weird, or do others see this also? Is there known issues on this? murf -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
