Hi,

Ater set up The Perfect Server - Debian Squeeze [ISPConfig 3] i get this:

Code:

~# /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
Restarting authentication failure monitor: fail2ban.

I've double checked all configuration and all seems ok.
Trere's no errors on /var/log/syslog nor /var/log/mail.log. Ihave googled a lot. Can you point me what, where to check?

TIA

Please post the contents of:

/etc/fail2ban/jail.local

and of every file in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/

 

Hi,

I would not like to hijack someones thread, but I presume that he has got the system working and therefore no further comments have been posted here.

I have exactly the same problem on Debian 6.

Code:

/etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
Restarting authentication failure monitor: fail2ban.

My /etc/fail2ban/jail.local file reads as follows:-

Code:

[pureftpd]

enabled  = true
port     = ftp
filter   = pureftpd
logpath  = /var/log/syslog
maxretry = 3


[sasl]

enabled  = true
port     = smtp
filter   = sasl
logpath  = /var/log/mail.log
maxretry = 5


[courierpop3]

enabled  = true
port     = pop3
filter   = courierpop3
logpath  = /var/log/mail.log
maxretry = 5


[courierpop3s]

enabled  = true
port     = pop3s
filter   = courierpop3s
logpath  = /var/log/mail.log
maxretry = 5


[courierimap]

enabled  = true
port     = imap2
filter   = courierimap
logpath  = /var/log/mail.log
maxretry = 5


[courierimaps]

enabled  = true
port     = imaps
filter   = courierimaps
logpath  = /var/log/mail.log
maxretry = 5

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Any errors in your logs (in the /var/log/ directory)?

 

I have the same problem following the how to here.

Where to look for errors?

Thanks you in advance.

 

The jail.local file in the how to has to be changed so the following line is:

Code:

filter   = pure-ftpd

Please make the change.

After that fail2ban starts successfully.
