(taken from [http://askubuntu.com/questions/27601/what-are-fail2bans-log-iptables-returned-nnn-entries-fail2ban-is-failing-to askubuntu])

"There's a (seemingly) faulty fail2ban script that apparently 'runs too quickly', so I found a workaround.

Quoting: I had multiple fail2ban.action.action ERROR on startup/restart. It seems there was a "race" condition with iptables. I solved the problem completely on my system by editing /usr/bin/fail2ban-client and adding a time.sleep(0.1):"

def __processCmd(self, cmd, showRet = True):
beautifier = Beautifier()
for c in cmd:
time.sleep(0.1)
beautifier.setInputCmd(c)
