Some background: RedHat ported fail2ban to use pyinotify instead of gamin which seems the way forward (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658849 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551895).
Switching to pyinotify is apparently on the fail2ban roadmap for 0.9.0 at http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Features so it's probably not worth backporting this feature at this point. As such the gamin patch should be a reasonable stopgap measure. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #658849 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658849 ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #551895 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551895 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/954453 Title: fail2ban in precise defaults to gamin, does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fail2ban/+bug/954453/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
