Thanks for the reply, Greg.......
The ip6tables version is stock for this version of Red Hat. Is there
a minimum version of ip6tables specified that works with fail2ban
0.10??
ip6tables --version
ip6tables v1.3.5
Only running with IPv4 for now, I suppose v0.10 has a an option to use
IPv4 iptables instead of ip6tables?
A few more lines in the fail2ban.log file, hopefully these will be more helpful:
2017-02-27 23:56:17,859 fail2ban.transmitter [13666]: WARNING
