Hello, I have a Debian 8 VM (Jessie) running on Xen, I can not get it to block port scans.
I have set
PS_INTERVAL = "100"
PS_LIMIT = "10"



All other functions seem to work fine.

Not sure what else to check, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

That is not in a format recognised by csf, in particular:
Where it says "vmunix" it should read "kernel". This is from a standard Debian v8 log that is detected:

Is there any way to change this?
I notice on the web others have the same problem.

I upgraded from Squeeze as well and didn't change anything intentionally.
Thank you for your very quick response,

Ok, I have been able to get it working, I had to completely remove rsyslogd and reinstall.
/etc/init.d/rsyslog stop
apt-get remove --purge rsyslog
apt-get install rsyslog

Must have been a leftover from the upgrade.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
