hi there,

i surprisingly discovered today that fail2ban didn't work for quite some (too long) time. Reason was changing from syslog to systemd. after changing "backend = auto" to "backend = systemd" and wondering why it fail all the time, it took me hours to find out that there is a bug/ missing dependency.


guys please fix this! this bug is nearly 3 years old!! or is there any technical reason for this?

autor has already mentioned how to fix this.

1. add python[1-3]-systemd  as dependency

2. fix /etc/failt2ban/filter.d/sshd.conf

            form

                        journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd

            to

                        journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=ssh.service + _COMM=sshd

btw
