I have been using fail2ban for several months, and so far it has worked
very well. Starting a few days ago, my logs began filling up with errors
like the one shown below. They all reference a file which does not
exist, namely libipt_f2b-sendmail-reject.so .
fail2ban.noarch - 0.9.6-1.el6.1 CentOS 6 - 2.6.32-696.10.1.el6.i686
Can someone help me understand what might be happening?
