Tilghman,

 

That is exactly right.  I'm thinking I need to revise the SuSEfirewall init
scripts to follow up with restarting fail2ban, but then I think fail2ban
will need to have a persistent jail after restarting, which I did find
online.

than have static IP addresses on the network (except of course where
absolutely essential).

DHCP server and use a very long lease time?

 

John,

 

Agreed re management.  The lease would have to be real long, like a year or
so.  That would do the trick.
