Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.5.2-1
if you ask fail2ban to use SYSLOG for logging it'll try to log to
localhost:514 ... which isn't typically enabled on a debian system.
the below patch fixes this to use /dev/log, and allows the user to
optionally change the syslog-facility in the config file (i prefer to see
the log messages in facility 4 alongside my ssh messages).
