Fail2ban reads system / service logfiles to read out any multiple bad login tries by i.e. ssh and other daemons. If it recognizes such a series of login attempts, it could "do anything" you configure - typically block the source IP by setting a firewall rule for a defined period. Fail2ban then writes log entries byself if it gets "active" on any attempt - you have to read / tail the log files to see it working ( i.e. "live watching" by tail -n 99 -f /path/to/logfile - i would assume the system logfile is used by default). As "usual" the installation / howto ressources are the primary docs for beginners in such a software. I"m not shure how far fail2ban is preconfigured in any way within the MacPorts version/port. hth a bit. best regards, Niels. -- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
