| steps taken:
| |
| sudo apt install python-pyinotify | |
| | |
| sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
| |
| | |
| changed: <code>backend = auto</code>
| |
| to: <code>backend = pyinotify</code>
| |
| | |
| then: sudo systemctl restart fail2ban
| |
| | |
| I notice restarting f2b re-created the errors in the logs. It seems that the problem is with deleting the iptables rules (banned ips from recdrive)...it gets the 'too many links' error when it tries.
| |
| | |
| I think this is a pretty minor problem but it would be nice to fix. note the the attempt to fix above did nothing.
| |
| | |
| UPDATE 9/2/18
| |
| I figured out that ignorecommand (jail.local) was causing problems..temporarily commented the line out entirely will have to figure something out with thing in the future to whitelist local ip's

unban
fail2ban-client set YOURJAILNAMEHERE unbanip IPADDRESSHERE
The hard part is finding the right jail:
Use iptables -L -n to find the rule name...
...then use fail2ban-client status to get the actual jail names. The rule name and jail name may not be the same but it should be clear which one is related to which.
