Thanks for this info, I was trying to work out how come fail2ban and shorewall were breaking each other when restarting.<br />Now both are running nicely.<br /><br />But I have one question, I'm not seeing any banned hosts in my /var/log/fail2ban.log file after a few hours.<br /><br />fail2ban-client status<br />Status<br />|- Number of jail: 0<br />`- Jail list:<br /><br /><br />when I was using iptables I specified <br /><br />[sshd]<br />enabled = true<br /><br />but if I manually add that into the new jail.local (cp of jail.conf) fail2ban service then fails to start.<br />how am I going to specify what services to enable?<br /><br />this isn't clear in your directions.<br /><br />Thanks again :)NoBodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861465285820684120noreply@blogger.com
