I > think my problem isn't repeatable so you could ignore it. going through the pile of fail2ban bug reports in Debian... most probably it is due to what we have fixed while working toward 0.8.11 release: - Polling backend: detect changes in the files not only based on mtime, but also on the size and inode. It should allow for better detection of changes and log rotations on busy servers, older python 2.4, and file systems with precision of mtime only up to a second (e.g. ext3). sounds relevant? ;-) -- Yaroslav O.
