Name : fail2ban Product : Fedora 11 Version : 0.8.3 Release : 22.fc11 URL : http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Ban IPs that make too many password failures Description : Fail2ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail or /var/log/apache/error_log and bans IP that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update redirects fail2ban's log to syslog. This also fixes and issue with logrotate purging banned clients. fail2ban also checks inodes instead of just the first line of a logfile. There is development code to address the broken compatibility with python 2.6 in this update. W/o this fail2ban is useless on F11 and newer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 2 2009 Axel Thimm <axel.th...@atrpms.net> - 0.8.3-22 - Update to a newer svn snapshot to fix python 2.6 issue. * Thu Aug 27 2009 Axel Thimm <axel.th...@atrpms.net> - 0.8.3-21 - Log to syslog (RH bug #491983).
