brr... are you sure you just have some problem with iptables? what if whenever there is no fail2ban running you run those commands while being root
iptables -N fail2ban-proftpd iptables -A fail2ban-proftpd -j RETURN iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports ftp,ftp-data,ftps,ftps-data -j fail2ban-proftpd will you get at some point that iptables v1.4.4: Couldn't load target `fail2ban-proftpd':/lib/xtables/libipt_fail2ban-proftpd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory or would be there any other error reported?
