reopen 767119 retitle 767119 handle /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/defaults-debian.conf differently severity 767119 wishlist stop
Hey again. I think I can rededicate this bug for the following: Wouldn't it be better if: 1) /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/defaults-debian.conf was not a conffile 2) named /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/ssh.conf instead and only created once on upgrade from pre 0.9 versions 3) people be advised that in future they need to manually activate they jails they want (1) and (2) would have the advantage that one doesn't get another conffile which one has to merge if the package default changes, and "defaults-debian" is a IMHO not such an optimal name: we already have jail.conf, which contains the defaults, then we have jail.local with local defaults, then defaults-debian with even more defaults (but actually only enabling ssh and not setting any other defaults)... and if the user wants to really modify defaults, he'll probably create a jail.d/default.conf, since these are his defaults and not debian's... Cheers, Chris.
