Bug#574536: fail2ban: no longer starts at boot automatically, only by hand
Hello, in attachment see my_etc-fail2ban.tar.gz. I only added (and edit) my own jail.local, as recommended. It had worked until I saw that it wasn't yesterday! IMPORTANT: this morning I added my own (temporary) solution, and it works now but I'm not understanding why the fail2ban-server doesn't run by himself at boot: I'm not remembering having seen Python packages passing during my last Lenny update. Feel free to check! Temp solution: adding #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -b -s /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock in for ex.: /etc/init.d/force-fail2ban-to-start then doing ln -s /etc/init.d/force-fail2ban-to-run /etc/rcS.d/S99force-fail2ban-to-start By hand: it starts. After rebooting: it starts too.

Thank you Osvaldo, Just now realized that we are talking about stable(lenny), so I guess not much of 'new and fancy' could be there I guess ;) just out of curiosity, 1. what if you remove -rw-r--r-- root/root 6343 2010-03-07 11:31 etc/fail2ban/.saf.jail.local.bak -rw-r--r-- root/root 6328 2010-03-05 16:08 etc/fail2ban/.saf.jail.local.orig still would fail to start? 2. what would be output (would it still crash?) with fail2ban-client -v -v -v start fail2ban-client -v -v -v -d ? P.S. the fact that you managed to start the server doesn't mean that it would do anything useful -- client is the one which instructs the server on what to do (what jails to use etc), so running server without client instructions does nothing... or after starting the server fail2ban-client starts to work fine? ;) On Fri, 19 Mar 2010, Osvaldo La Rosa wrote: Hello, in attachment see my_etc-fail2ban.tar.gz.

would you mind sharing the content of /etc/fail2ban? have you modified/customized any configuration file?
