Hi folks,
I am using fail2ban in the plesk (12.5.30 Update #27, with Ubuntu 14.04) admin interface . Whenever I reboot my server I can see that the iptables configuration of fail2ban is gone. I am wondering if this might be due to iptables-persistent because what I find after reboot is the configuration from the /etc/iptables/rules.v4 file.
I have had a look at /etc/init.d/fail2ban which has a reference to iptables-persistent:
# Should-Start: $time $network $syslog iptables firehol shorewall ipmasq arno-iptables-firewall iptables-persistent ferm
My understanding of this is that iptables-persistent should start before fail2ban (correct ??) which sounds right.
When I go to plesk and save the fail2ban settings again my fail2ban configuration is restored. I have tried to look at boot.log and dmesg to reveal in what sequence services are started but was not successful. boot.log is empty and dmesg only contains firewall logs.
Has anybody seen this problem or has an idea how to solve it ?
Cheers Thomas
