bash: fail2ban: command not found.

| Code: | michi@localhost ~ $ su
Passwort:
localhost /home/michi # emerge -av fail2ban
* IMPORTANT: 15 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-analyzer/fail2ban-0.9.6::gentoo USE="systemd (-selinux)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4 (-pypy) -python2_7 (-python3_5)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 (-pypy) (-python3_5)" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

michi-monster,
fail2ban reads logs to know what to ban. That requires that you install a logger.
As always, Gentoo offers a choice :)
There are some recommendations in the handbook.
Don't miss the "Tip".
if your logs don't get rotated, they will grow without limit. That's a very bad thing when your HDD fills up.

Command installed are:
| Code: | # fail2ban-<tab><tab>
fail2ban-client fail2ban-python fail2ban-regex fail2ban-server fail2ban-testcases |
For init script you should install and run a logger service
