[Bug 267087] Re: fail2ban configuration ambiguous
maybe you dist-upgraded from an earlier version where it used to be as /etc/fail2ban.conf. /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/README.Debian.gz probably has what you are looking for: Upgrade from 0.6 versions: - * New Config Files Format: If you had introduced your own sections in /etc/fail2ban.conf, you would need manually to convert them into a new format. At minimum you need to create /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/NAME.local (leave .conf files for me and upstream please to avoid any conflicts -- introduce your changes in .local) with failregex in [Definition] section.

[Bug 267087] Re: fail2ban configuration ambiguous
fail2ban doesn't read /etc/fail2ban.conf at all. The default fail2ban.conf only configures loglevel, logtarget and the socket path, so if you don't read the manual how to configure the jails (in fail2ban.jail) then I'm not sure how it can be a bug. ** Changed in: fail2ban (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- fail2ban configuration ambiguous https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
[Bug 267087] Re: fail2ban configuration ambiguous
The dpkg -L fail2ban gives me /etc/fail2ban.conf on Ubuntu 8.04.1. If a configuration file is shipped with a package but not used by that package, then it's a bug. fail2ban.jail doesn't exist on my system, /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf does. It can list all sorts of information, but that's worthless if it is contradicted by the information in /etc/fail2ban.conf. Since both are shipped with the same package, it is impossible for an outsider to decide which information is valid and which can be discarded. I don't see how this is *not* a bug. ** Changed in: fail2ban (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- fail2ban configuration ambiguous https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

The software was completely rewritten at version 0.7.0 and now allows easy specification of different actions to be taken such as to ban an IP using iptables or hostsdeny rules, or simply to send a notification email. Currently, by default, supports ssh/apache/vsftpd but configuration can be easily extended for monitoring any other ASCII file. All filters and actions are given in the config files, thus fail2ban can be adopted to be used with a variety of files and firewalls.

[Bug 267087] Re: fail2ban configuration ambiguous
dpkg -L on hardy doesn't list /etc/fail2ban.conf here. Don't know where you got it. The information in fail2ban.conf is not contradicting, the default files have nothing in common (fail2ban.conf and jail.conf), and surely users need to read the manual before trying to configure something like this.. ** Changed in: fail2ban (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- fail2ban configuration ambiguous https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
