My Xymon server keeps sending alerts for a system saying that /var/log/fail2ban.log is unreadable.
Nothing I can find is testing for this file and the permissions are such that xymon can read it.
Any clues on where to look to find what is causing this?
Thanks.

First, confirm it isn't another host reporting under a false name. You could be investigating the wrong target.
