I only have one problem with this. Ports is disabled in FreeNAS, and so I performed the install through pkg_add. When I run the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fail2ban start, I get "command not found"

Fail2ban already installs an rc.d script, so you don't need to do anything. So, /etc/rc.conf can be used, and add fail2ban_enable="YES" Then from the prompt run: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fail2ban start Chris _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
