I have a centos 5.11 server running fail2ban from epel without issues. I am using Python 2.4.3. RPM Package: fail2ban-0.8.14-1.el5

It seems there may be a general issue with your configuration files (missing closing, syntax related).

Try increasing (in your case it seems, defining) a log level for debug or at least info. Since it seems yours is not defined (from the warning), there seems to be something wrong with your configuration files.

Further, you can check:

Do you have pyinotify installed?
That is not an error you listed, but a Warning. I imagine it occurs for each relevant logline with that hostname, so it should stop eventually.

If you still can't figure it out, try a new version of Python and make sure the init script is using the newer version of Python (verify with ps, check $PATH, init script).

Hello All,

I have been running fail2ban for a long time but lately having issues because we still have some servers on Centos 5.9.

If I run fail2ban source code 8.4 everything seems to run but get this error non-stop: 2015-01-17 22:52:48,458 fail2ban.filter : WARNING Unable to find a corresponding IP address for 94-153-122-142-ode.broadband.kyivstar.net <http://94-153-122-142-ode.broadband.kyivstar.net>

If run the rpm version from yum, 0:0.8.14-1.el5 I get these errors and it doesnt run (pasted below). I believe this wants a newer version of python, i'm running Python 2.4.3 :

I did try yum install python26 and that didn't help.

I just need to get something running even if it's at a reduced functionality or performance.

Thanks!
