Hello,
I've been trying to work out why logging via syslog does not function and found that fail2ban has a hard coded socket for the syslog daemon which is not BSD compatible. Here is a patch to resolve, otherwise pass it upstream to have the project make it a configuration directive. stavros@escdev:/home/stavros# diff -a -b /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fail2ban/server/server.py /tmp/server.py 371c371 < hdlr = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler("/dev/log", facility=facility) --- > hdlr = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler("/var/run/log", facility=facility) Stavros Patiniotis Managing Director Escapenet national 1300 135 235 phone 8292 5200 fax 1300 136 296 web <http://www.esc.net.au/> www.esc.net.au sales <mailto:sa...@staff.esc.net.au> sa...@staff.esc.net.au support <mailto:supp...@staff.esc.net.au> supp...@staff.esc.net.au accounts <mailto:accou...@staff.esc.net.au> accou...@staff.esc.net.au Permitted use & confidentiality terms covering the contents of this email are located at <http://www.esc.net.au/terms/Email-v1.0.pdf> http://www.esc.net.au/terms/Email-v1.0.pdf _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
