Would you please advise me as to how to make a host ban persistent as I have a couple of IPs consistently sniffing around for a way in. I tried a few searches of the archives for an answer along with asking Ms. Google, but I could not find any definitive answers.

Hi Cody,

Adaptive Ban scans the /var/log/messages file for specific errors, and then block IP addresses.
When you reboot by default the log files are deleted because they are living a temporary filesystem.

You can change that, if you set "PERSISTLOG=yes" in your "user.conf" and reboot.
From that point on the logs are stored in "/mnt/kd/log".

## Persistent Logs
## If this variable is defined, logs are saved to the keydisk instead of RAM
PERSISTLOG=yes
