perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

Those are actually installed by the fail2ban software. I would think it’s ok to delete them and not sure why its adding so many. It should only need one instance of each to create the pointer to the f2b-sshd table and then to build the table. That’s very strange and let us know if they pop back up after you clean them out. 

Thanks,

Andy

I’m a new admin for our PerfSONAR servers.  I have performed fresh installs of our servers from the perfsonar_toolkit ISO, version 3.5.1.

I see that iptables has 10 instances of rule: "-A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 22 -j f2b-sshd”

and 11 instances of rule: "-A f2b-sshd -j RETURN"

I have not been able to find any info about the reason for these duplicates.

Do these multiple instances serve some sort of purpose or was it a mistake and can I remove them?
