unfortunately I can't sudo sh -x myself > I have open iptables with sudo. And please access to fail2ban log file - may be making it world readable for now (and also adjusting /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban) or just send me how it looks now since you pumped up verbosity leevel in conf file. (I can't find any instance of fail2ban in our correspondence -- am I missing it?) -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
