hi, regardless what rule i add in /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf, with pure-ftpd rule enabled,, fail2ban does not start. my current rule: Code: [pure-ftpd-iptables] enabled = true filter = pure-ftpd action = iptables-allports[name=Pure-FTPD, protocol=all] sendmail-whois[name=Pure-FTPD, [email protected], [email protected]] logpath = /var/log/messages maxretry = 5 the same rule, for ssh,, does work thanks
