<br>
Is there a way to change the name of the logs to something like "jnos.log" and have jnos always leave the log file name the same?<br>
<br>
Then I could use use linux's log-rotate feature to rotate the logs say, once a week.<br>
<br>
I'm using an intrusion detection software scanning the logs for "bad login" and automatically ban ip addresses that have 3 or more failed login attempts, via an iptables drop command.<br>
<br>
Only, the intrusion detection software (Fail2Ban) needs the log file name to always be the same name. <br>
<br>
Anyone know if it's possible to setup jnos so it always keeps the log file name the same?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
