jail.local should be just like jail.conf with only the name of the jail you what to change from default and the setting you want to change, so, for example to enable the postfix jail you need two lines:

[postfix]
enabled = true

In 0.9.x there are a heck of a lot of defaults further up the jail.conf so they don't get repeated in the jails, so, for example the default filter name now always matches the jail name and the default rule is iptables-multport (which also works for a single port)

I'm running centos 6 and I've just installed
fail2ban-0.9.2-1.el6.noarch using yum. I notice straight away the
jail.conf file looks different and I can't get fail2ban to ban
anything. After trawling google I can't find an up-to-date working
sample jail.local file as a reference.
The program starts fine, it just doesn't ban anything and no fail2ban
rules are generated in iptables. I've used previous versions of
fail2ban many times but this new version has me stumped. Can anyone
point me to an example of how this new jail.local file should look?
