Hi, I recently installed Fail2Ban 0.9.3 on a Ubuntu 16.04 System, and am trying to create custom action shortcuts to reuse in my custom jail files.
The jails themselves work fine, the custom DEFAULTS-file is being loaded, but when trying to start Fail2Ban, Jails using my custom action shortcut are not beig started. My common data file (jails.d/jails.common) contains the following entries: ---- [DEFAULT] destemail = d...@server.com sender = sen...@server.com sendername = Some Fail2Ban Sender action_c = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, bantime="%(bantime)s", port="%(port)s", protocol=tcp, chain=mychain] action_cd = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, bantime="%(bantime)s", port="%(port)s", protocol=tcp, chain=mychain] %(mta)s-custom[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s", sender="%(sender)s", chain=mychain] ---- and my CustomJail.conf contains this ---- [INCLUDES] before = jails.common [customjail] port = http,https action = %(action_cd)s logpath = /path/to/logfile enabled = true maxretry = 1 bantime = 1 ---- the low values for maxretry and bantime obviously for testing purposes. However, starting Fail2Ban with this configuration fails wih this error message: ERROR Failed during configuration: Bad value substitution: option 'action' in section 'customjail' contains an interpolation key 'action_cd' which is not a valid option name. Raw value: '%(action_cd)s' For architectural reasons, I do not want to rewrite jail.local for this, as these actions should not be available for all jails. I am quite lost and qould appreciate help, as I did not find any hint on this either in the mailing lists or google or anywhere, really.
