Ubuntu 16.04 fail2ban无法启动ubuntu 16.04

我使用本教程为我的Ubuntu 16.04服务器安装了fail2ban

在经历了这些之后，我尝试以：/etc/init.d/fail2ban start开始

答复如下：

[....] Starting fail2ban (via systemctl): fail2ban.serviceJob for fail2ban.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status fail2ban.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

失败了

然后运行时：

systemctl status fail2ban.service

我明白了：

DigitalOcean的一些教程包含错误。检查您的

/etc/fail2ban/jail.local

。尽量保持简单，即只保留那些你想更改的选项

否则，如果您已将

jail.conf

复制到

jail.local

（根据DO的指南），则在

jail.local

文件中删除或注释掉pam部分（如果不使用）

转至/etc/fail2ban/jail.local的第146行

# [pam-generic]

# enabled  = false
# pam-generic filter can be customized to monitor specific subset of 'tty's
# filter   = pam-generic
# port actually must be irrelevant but lets leave it all for some possible uses
# port     = all
# banaction = iptables-allports
# port     = anyport
# logpath  = /var/log/auth.log
# maxretry = 6
