hard to figure out in all the config files if they are just in a list (not in original directory structure targzipped for instance) but it seems that fail2ban.conf/jail.conf wasn't even changed, and only jail.local has modifications (the way it should be)
So -- fail2ban-server is crashing. Could you run it in foreground mode ? (-f) you might get even more information if running within ipython with smth like ipython -pdb /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -- -f -x and then issuing that fail2ban-client -v reload hopefully that would trigger visible crash in the server with giving at least some clue of WTF. then I guess you could debug it a bit if msg would not be informative start ipython pdb on run /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -f -x and then ivoke that client command -- theoretically you should get into the point of failure, so you could reveal stack of calls with bt, etc On Tue, 26 Aug 2008, Stefan wrote: > tisdagen den 26 augusti 2008 skrev Yaroslav Halchenko: > > very interesting -- could we start with loglevel = 4 in fail2ban.conf > > and send resultant fail2ban.log along with your configuration (full > > /etc/fail2ban would be the best) > Ok, you'll find the files attached to this mail.
