Is the fail2ban IPTABLES setup temporary (as in until reboot)?
Yes, and no. There is no database, but at startup fail2ban scans the
log (or logs) again, and it something falls within the "findtime" it
will add it again; so it works like a persistent database, except if you
truncate/rotate the logs faster that findtime.
If I do indeed need rc.firewall, is there a recommendation on BARE
minimum strictly for fail2ban usage?
Thanks guys! And love reading all your responses.
My understanding is that from v0.9.0 there is a database and if f2b is
restarted, it re-reads the database to set up its blocks.
