The last upgrade of EPEL package fail2ban misbehaves on CentOS 5,
as it contains a syntax which is still unsupported on Python 2.4.
When trying to start fail2ban, you will get errors like these:
ERROR NOK: ('invalid syntax',
('/usr/share/fail2ban/server/filterpyinotify.py', 214, 21, '\t\texcept
Exception as e:\n'))
ERROR NOK: ('ssh-iptables',)
A proposed fix is attached.
Best regards,
Bussi Andrea
The last upgrade of EPEL package fail2ban misbehaves on CentOS 5,
as it contains a syntax which is still unsupported on Python 2.4.
When trying to start fail2ban, you will get:
ERROR NOK: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/share/fail2ban/server/filterpyinotify.py', 214, 21, '\t\texcept Exception as e:\n'))
ERROR NOK: ('ssh-iptables',)
To directly fix fail2ban on machine, you can use this patch like this:
cd /
patch -p1 <fail2ban.patch
And then restart fail2ban, and see if the errors go away.
