Fail2Ban Fails in PIAF-1756 Unless Incredible PBX is installed

[wardmundy]

We've just discovered that the iptables setup for Fail2Ban in PIAF 1.7.5.6 is missing a component that actually manages Fail2Ban and triggers the lockout mechanism. We'll have a fix included in update-fixes shortly and will post the notice here.

NOTE: This only affects PIAF 1.7.5.6 installs, not 1.7.5.5! If you're running Incredible PBX with PIAF 1.7.5.6, it's NOT A PROBLEM. Do NOT overwrite the Incredible setup which is much more complex to support White Lists!

If you're in a hurry and want to do it yourself, here's how after logging into your server as root:

cd /etc/sysconfig
mv iptables iptables.bak
wget http://nerd.bz/guYeeG
service iptables restart
service fail2ban restart
