I need some help and clarity on what I need to do.
I went through centos 5.3 perfect server setup. So, iptables is off and fail2ban is on. I turned on the default firewall ports for the server in ipsconfig 3 admin. It works, I tested it by opening and closing a few ports.
ISP Config 3 tells me "fail2ban is not installed at this server.
See more (for debian) here..."
I try to ssh in as root and use bad passwords over and over, then after about 6 or 7 tries I get the boot, then I can go right back and try again. Why is my IP not banned? And why does ISPConfig 3 say "fail2ban is not installed at this server"
Thanks!!!
