[Fail2ban-users] fail2ban.actions.action error

[Aniyan R. <ani...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am getting the following error in the log, when I start fail2ban. I tried
the solution in this
url<http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Fail2ban_talk:Community_Portal#fail2ban.actions.action_ERROR_on_startup.2Frestart>,
but doesn't work. I am using Debian/squeeze. I have the following in
iptables-multiport.conf. Please help. Thanks.

actionstart = iptables -N fail2ban-<name>
              iptables -A fail2ban-<name> -j RETURN
              iptables -I INPUT -p <protocol> -m multiport --dports <port>
-j fail2ban-<name>
              cat /etc/fail2ban/ip.blacklist | while read IP; do iptables
-I fail2ban-<name> 1 -s $IP -j DROP; done
