Hi all,

I have a server I set up for testing. I have installed SSH server and not I
am getting bombarded by brute force attacks. After some research found that
fail2ban sounds like a good idea, But I am having some issues. It wont ban
anything.. It just seems to ignore what I set and keep allowing attempts. I
set it to block after 3 fails. I'm thinking I may have  misconfiguration
something. Can any one suggest a good how to on it? I have only found stuff
for Debian.

Thanks in advance!,
Beau
