One difference is on working CentOS 6.3 I have to disable fastestmirror to yum install fail2ban work, where on this not working CentOS 6.4 it downloaded fail2ban without disabling fastestmirror. Another difference is on working CentOS6.3 I have to change from https to http in epel.repo to install, where as on this not working CentOS 6.4 it worked without change from https to http in epel.repo. Shall I uninstall fail2ban on not working CentOS 6.4, and do above same changes and install again to see how it goes? Thank you, Anil.
