Easy as baking a cake. Zypper in.. No. Refuse to start after install. Had a look with yast(not yast2)/software and I was recommended 2 additional packages (firewall2 integration). But no. See attached file(fail2ban) over errors. The solution is to adjust the package writing the etc/fail2ban/jail.local in the 4th row. Before: # test [DEFAULT] # a space delimited list of IP addresses, CIDR prefixes, or DNS hostnames # to bypass fail2ban protection .... Should be: # test [DEFAULT] # a space delimited list of IP addresses, CIDR prefixes, or DNS #hostnames # to bypass fail2ban protection .... regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
