All, I've configured fail2ban following the wiki, it is running, and I've enabled jails in /etc/fail2ban/jails.local, but fail2ban-client status shows no jails. The jails.local is: [DEFAULT] destemail = david@domain.tld sender = david@domain.tld # to ban & send an e-mail with whois report to the destemail. #action = %(action_mw)s # same as action_mw but also send relevant log lines action = %(action_mwl)s [DEFAULT] bantime = 2d [sshd] enable = true port = ssh,6661 [dovecot] enable = true [postfix] enable = true [smtpd] enable = true Running fail2ban-client status shows: # fail2ban-client status Status |- Number of jail: 0 `- Jail list: Reading other fail2ban configuration howtos, suggest I should be seeing the enabled jails. Is there something else I need to do on Arch? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
