Before using Fail2Ban for the first time you should edit the jail
configuration and enable the jails that you want to use, for instance
ssh-ipfw. Also, make sure that they point to the correct configuration
path. I.e. on Mountain Lion the sshd logfile should point to
/var/log/system.log.

    * $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf

The Fail2Ban wiki has two pages with instructions for macOS Server that
describes how to set up the Jails for the standard macOS Server
services for the respective releases.
