But fail2ban is different: you don't edit the original .conf-files but do you changes and your changes only in corresponding .local-files. E.g., to enable ssh you would create a file jail.local with the lines [sshd] enabled = true (plus other specifics) in it. See the header of fail2ban.conf and jail.conf files. This way you'll benefit from enhancements and fixes coming from upstream without having to merge your files after every update or risk losing the changes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
