I was testing a recent patch by Cristoph (#1689): https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/1689 (Thank you, Christoph!)
That patch contains a new variable "lowest_rule_num" whose value is set in config/action.d/bsd-ipfw.conf I thought that setting its value in jail.local would override its default value, but it turns out that fail2ban does not read this value from jail.local (or from fail2ban.local), neither on "reload" nor on a fresh startup. I am probably wrong, but I thought that one can set any variable's value in jail.local (or fail2ban.local) and that will override their default values. Is this a bug or by design? Is there a way that defines the "scope" of a configuration variable (global vs. local) that would affect if the variable value can be set by a user in jail.local or fail2ban.local ?
