Greetings,

I could use some help understanding how different maxretry variables located in 
the jail.local file interact with each other.

Does the maxretry at the beginning of the file (under [DEFAULT]) only come into 
play when maxretry isn't defined under a specific jail later in the file?

Should the maxretry variable in the [recidive] jail be the same as or less than 
the other jails such as [ssh]?  Does it matter?

Thank you,

John


# A host is banned if it has generated "maxretry" during the last "findtime"
# seconds.
findtime = 600
maxretry = 3
# A host is banned if it has generated "maxretry" during the last "findtime"
# seconds.
findtime = 600
maxretry = 3# A host is banned if it has generated "maxretry" during the last 
"findtime"# seconds.
findtime = 600
maxretry = 3
