+2. /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban start
+
+Additionally, you can add the following to rc.local for automatic startup
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban ]; then
+	/etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban start
+fi
+
+and add the following to rc.local_shutdown to stop fail2ban at shutdown
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban ]; then
+	/etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban stop
+fi

+The package contains logrotate script copied from fail2ban manual,

+UPGRADING:
+
+Please make sure you have all your modifications done to .local files instead of 
+.conf files.
+
+Making modifications to .local files is the recommended practice as per the 
+software manual.  Each .conf file is overridden by equivalent .local file.
+Please refer Configuration section in fail2ban manual.
