fail2ban log errors for ssh jail

Hello all,

There is a server where fail2ban is installed. I can see the error in the log files repeatedly and do not know this is. Any help?

Code:

See http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.p...mmunity_Portal and search for the "actions.action: ERROR iptables" part.

There is same issue discussed there and it says to modify the python script shebang line from /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2.4. Have changed it but I do not see any change. Will still wait till monday to see if the error persists.
