Public bug reported:
The default install of fail2ban has "/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf" option
"backend=auto", which watches "/var/log/auth.log", which in 16.04 is an empty
file on the default configuration of sshd (it logs verbosely to journalctl).
My opinion is that fail2ban ought to have a working default configuration for
the default jail.
