fail2ban and proftpd 1.3
So I am running Ubuntu-server with proftpd version 1.3 and fail2ban version .6.1 . I want to use fail2ban to block the brute force attacks on proftpd. I am using the default config, I just updated the config to enable proftpd. My problem is it isn't seeing any of the proftpd failed logins. I incorrectly login 8 times from another computer, but the fail2ban.log doesn't make notice of anything and I am not blocked. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!! |
if nobody knows what is going wrong there, is there any other tool that I should know about to block brute force attacks with proftpd?

You have to change the line
enabled= false into enabled= true of section proftpd in file /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf And restart fail2ban That works for version 0.7.7 |
yes but my problem is the ubuntu-server package is version 0.6.1, is there a .7.7 .deb update package I can get?
|
It seems like you can't get it because python-central is too old and python-gamin does'nt exist.
So keep your version and try to understand the format of the configuration files at this time (have you checked the file I mentionned?) It's a badly documented software so that's not easy. |
