 The xt_recent-echo jail can be used under the root user without
 further configuration. To run not as root, futher setup is necessary:
 
-- add user fail2ban who can read /var/log/auth.log and other
-  necessary log files. Log files are owned by group 'adm', so
-  it is enough if this user belongs to this group.
+- Create user:
 
-  The user can be created e.g. with
-    useradd --system --no-create-home --home-dir / --groups adm fail2ban
+  - set FAIL2BAN_USER in /etc/default/fail2ban.
 
-- put a rule to check the xt_recent list in the static firewall
-  initialization script, with a name like fail2ban-ssh.
+    This probably should be fail2ban.
 
-  Sample invocation might be
-    iptables -I INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 3600 --name fail2ban-<name> -j DROP
-  with <name> suitably replaced.
