Topic: openbsd fail2ban(failed)
- iRedMail version 1.6.8 PGSQL edition
- Deployed with downloadable installer
- OpenBSD 7.3 GENERIC.MP#5 amd64
- Store mail accounts in PGSQL
- Web server Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin & command line
- no found logs related to fail2ban even after increasing logging to DEBUG
fail2ban is failing to load at startup, and the only error message I see is "fail2ban(failed)" in the console during startup, or if I attempt to start or check the service:
# /etc/rc.d/fail2ban check
fail2ban(failed)
# /etc/rc.d/fail2ban start
fail2ban(failed)
# /etc/rc.d/fail2ban restart
fail2ban(failed)
There are no error messages in /var/log/messages which relate to fail2ban.
Additionally, in the mail server daily output email to root it includes
Services that should be running but aren't:
fail2ban
The logfile is empty:
# ls -al /var/log/fail2ban.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 30 02:54 /var/log/fail2ban.log
I saw in the forums that previous version of the openbsd installer failed to install fail2ban completely, but that issue was fixed.
What more information can I post to be of assistance, or how can I safely reinstall fail2ban on openbsd so that it will play nicely with iredmail?
Thank you for your assistance.
