This is you problem. Are you using iptables as your firewall?
Nick
Well, I don't know, I did say I was a total fail2ban newbie. :-)
I just did 'apt install fail2ban' and that's all, I did check that
fail2ban was running but no more.
So I guess you're saying that I need to install/configure something to
do with ip_tables, yes?
I have 'iptables' installed from the Ubuntu repositories.
Ah, looking at /lib/modules I don't have the one referenced above:-
chris@isbdGandi$ ls -l /lib/modules
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 5 2017 3.10.103-xenU-33-adcc8c8-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 25 2017 3.10.105-xenU-34-082da8f-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 19 2014 3.10.42-xenU-12-e888729-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 22 2015 3.10.62-xenU-25-0e6777a-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 16 2016 3.10.99-xenU-26-7336ef7-x86_64
So how do I get the one that's needed? What is it a part of?
I don't know Ubuntu/Debian at all so can't really advise. It look like
those folders are related to your kernel. Probably your set up only
keeps the last 5 kernels installed, so your running kernel 'uname -r' is
probably older than any of these and is 3.10.107-xenU-36-37a7b05-x86_64.
Try rebooting. This should bring the latest kernel into play and it
should then be able to find the module.
