Fail2ban.log error. Havnt had before. :S

dirtydog7655 · 02-23-2011, 08:56 PM

Alright so i havnt checked my fail2ban.log in a few days so i figured i probably should. I think that because after 5 attempts a connection is suppose to be blocked and it is NOT being blocked.

So upon trying to check the log here is what i get....

2011-02-20 06:25:07,228 fail2ban.server : INFO Changed logging target to /var/log/fail2ban.log for Fail2ban v0.8.4-SVN

It just keeps telling me that.

I use to type cat /var/log/fail2ban.log and it would come right up, now i get that.

Help? Thanks!

"Think" or know? Only your configuration can tell...

Just a message of the informational level. A ban line looks like "fail2ban.actions: WARNING [servicename] Ban [IP_address]".
