If one doesn't have whois installed, then one gets mails of the form:
=-=-=-=-
The IP 11.22.33.44 has just been banned by Fail2Ban after
3 attempts against FreeSwitch.
Here are more information about 11.22.33.44:
Regards,
Fail2Ban
=-=-=-=-
you could make the mail more useful bu replacing the
/usr/bin/whois <IP>
bit in /etc/fail2ban/action.d/sendmail-whois-lines.conf with something like
this:
/usr/bin/whois <IP> || echo " [You need to install whois for this bit to
work]"
although that will erroniously add the message if whois exists but returns
an error, so you might want to go for the more correct, but longer:
[ -e /usr/bin/whois ] && { /usr/bin/whois <IP> ; true ; } || echo " [You
need to install whois for this bit to work]"
Oh, and while you're at it, that should read "here _is_ more information
about ..." (rather than "here _are_ ...").
Cheers, Phil.
