Fail2Ban (version 0.8.6) 2011/11/28
================================================================================
Fail2Ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail and bans IP that makes too many
password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. These
rules can be defined by the user. Fail2Ban can read multiple log files such as
sshd or Apache web server ones.
This README is a quick introduction to Fail2ban. More documentation, FAQ, HOWTOs
are available on the project website: http://www.fail2ban.org
