Once you install the package, you can start using fail2ban by:
1. chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban
2. /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban start
Additionally, you can add the following to rc.local for automatic startup
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban start
fi
and add the following to rc.local_shutdown to stop fail2ban at shutdown
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban stop
fi
The package contains logrotate script copied from fail2ban manual,
and modified to reflect Slackware packaging. You can find
the original script at:
http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8
UPGRADING:
Please make sure you have all your modifications done to .local files instead of
.conf files.
Making modifications to .local files is the recommended practice as per the
software manual. Each .conf file is overridden by equivalent .local file.
Please refer Configuration section in fail2ban manual.
