Description Richard Brittain 2015-10-26 17:18:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
fail2ban package from EPEL6 is incompatible with RHEL6 iptables

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.3-1.el6

How reproducible:
Unmodified fail2ban configuration sets 'lockingopt = -w' in /etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-common.conf, but RHEL6 iptables doesn't support -w flag,
so all iptables commands are rejected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service fail2ban start
2. iptables -L  => no fail2ban chains created
3. errors reporting misuse of '-w' option in iptables command line are sent to syslog.

Actual results:


Expected results:
