# Fail2Ban configuration file. # # This file was composed for Debian systems from the original one # provided now under /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/examples/jail.conf # for additional examples. # # To avoid merges during upgrades DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE # and rather provide your changes in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local # # Author: Yaroslav O. Halchenko # # $Revision: 281 $ # # The DEFAULT allows a global definition of the options. They can be override # in each jail afterwards. [DEFAULT] # "ignoreip" can be an IP address, a CIDR mask or a DNS host ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 bantime = 600 maxretry = 3 # "backend" specifies the backend used to get files modification. Available # options are "gamin", "polling" and "auto". # yoh: For some reason Debian shipped python-gamin didn't work as expected # This issue left ToDo, so polling is default backend for now backend = polling # # Destination email address used solely for the interpolations in # jail.{conf,local} configuration files. destemail = root@localhost # # ACTIONS # # Default banning action (e.g. iptables, iptables-new, # iptables-multiport, shorewall, etc) It is used to define # action_* variables. Can be overriden globally or per # section within jail.local file banaction = iptables-multiport # email action. Since 0.8.1 upstream fail2ban uses sendmail # MTA for the mailing.

To be used to define action parameter # The simplest action to take: ban only action_ = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s] # ban & send an e-mail with whois report to the destemail. action_mw = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s] %(mta)s-whois[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s", protocol="%(protocol)s] # ban & send an e-mail with whois report and relevant log lines # to the destemail. action_mwl = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s] %(mta)s-whois-lines[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s", logpath=%(logpath)s] # Choose default action.
