Thank you, Jamie Cameron. I'm running Webmin 1.840 Is there a way to tell if that fix is included in that release? If the fix is not included in that release, how do I apply it to my server?

The Fail2Ban program does accept dynamic hosts in the config. The issue here is that the Webmin app for Fail2Ban does not allow putting dynamic hosts in the Fail2Ban config files. It does look like somebody fixed it and a newer version is available. I don't know how to access the fix and apply it to my system. Can you tell me how I can obtain the fix and apply it to my system? Thanks. On Sat, Jun 3, 2017 at 6:45 AM, Niel Buys r2d2-master@users.sf.net wrote: I also ran into this problem today. From...

the change I'm looking for is that Webmin will allow a host name such as host.doman.com instead of an ip address in the "ignoreip" parameter in the fail2ban module. Fail2ban does in fact allow host names in addition to ip addresses -- so the Fail2Ban interface in Webmin should allow entry of a dynamic hostname On Sat, Apr 22, 2017 at 11:10 AM, Robert rcoates5@users.sf.net wrote: I assume this has been fixed by now.

I assume this has been fixed by now. How do I get the updated module for Webmin that controls Fail2ban? How do I update my copy of Webmin to include this? Sorry these are "newb" questions. I have a lot of programming experience, just not with Linux. On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 5:39 PM, Jamie Cameron jcameron@users.sf.net wrote: It may be that fail2ban re-resolves hostnames more often.

Thank you for the prompt reply. Are you familiar with the program "Travelling Man"...
