fail2ban rule pure-ftpd - opensuse 11.3

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, dest=me@myself.com, sender=fail2ban@mail.com]
logpath  = /var/log/messages
maxretry = 5

the same rule, for ssh,, does work

thanks

 

Any errors in the fail2ban log (in /var/log/)?
