Hi,

I do not have solution for you, sorry.
If you look security, you should upgrade your server OS.

You might want to consider an new machine using a new version of Linux server.

Dudes, telling him to upgrade because YOU think latest and greatest is best is not helping him with the problem.

To the OP, your startup script for fail2ban is messed up, and it is not starting. You may want to completely remove fail2ban and then re-install it if you don't know how to fix the startup script or simply don't want to go through the hassle.

This appears to be an SELinux bug. If you have SELinux enabled, try disabling it.

To disable the SELinux permanently, modify the /etc/selinux/config and set the SELINUX=disabled as shown below. One you make any changes to the /etc/selinux/config, reboot the server for the changes to be considered.

 
# cat /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
SETLOCALDEFS=0

I love to THANKS for all friends . =D>

I am going to check today and let you know the status .


This is the server i am using for more than 3 years without any trouble . Really i much impressed this server setup and don't want to disturb .

For security reasons i need to installing fail2ban .

NOTE : previously one of member try to install fail2ban through source file . really i am not aware of this and i tried to install via apt-get and configured as what i need .

I doubt that is the one messed up this issue .
