# Fail2Ban configuration file # # $Revision$ [DEFAULT] # firewall: select the firewall system to use. Actually, # the available options are: iptables, ipfwadm, ipfw firewall = iptables # background: true to start fail2ban as a daemon. Output # is redirect to logfile. background = false # debug: true to enable debug mode. More verbose output # and bypass root user test. debug = false # pwdfailfile: the path of the file which contains the # password failure log. pwdfailfile = /var/log/pwdfail/current # logfile: the path of the file for logging messages of # fail2ban. logfile = /var/log/fail2ban.log # maxretry: the number of retry before IP gets ban. maxretry = 3 # bantime: the number of seconds an IP will be ban. bantime = 600 # ignoreip: a space separated list that contains IP which # will be ignore by fail2ban. Example: # ignoreip = 192.168.0.1 123.45.235.65 ignoreip = # interface: the interface name on which the IP will be # banned. interface = eth0 # polltime: the number of seconds that fail2ban sleeps # between two iteration (check for IP to unban - parse # log file). 1 is a good value. polltime = 1
