I'm running fail2ban on my server (under CentOS-6.4) and it seems to be running according to ------------------------- [tim at grover fail2ban]$ sudo service fail2ban status Fail2ban (pid 31794) is running... Status |- Number of jail: 1 `- Jail list: ssh-iptables ------------------------- I have absolutely no idea how fail2ban works, and I'm running it with the default /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf , which seems to set the logfile to /var/log/fail2ban.log . Should I actually study how it is meant to be configured? I just yum-installed it (from Epel, I assume) and hope it does its job, whatever that is. Incidentally, I am running shorewall on this server. Should I tell shorewall something about fail2ban, or vice versa?
