Hi, I am emailing you since you are among the ones who raised the concern about issues in fail2ban 0.7.5-2 which is currently in etch. Although I suggested to use backported version from lenny (present in backports.org) it is critical to patch most obvious issues in etch version as well. I prepared an upload for the security team to digest, but before that, I would love to hear your feedback -- may be you could give it a spin on your etch box and see if it behaves appropriately and resolves the issues in question.
Preliminary build is available from http://itanix.rutgers.edu/rumba/dists/etch/perspect/binary-all/net/fail2ban_0.7.5-2etch1~pre4_all.deb and sources from http://itanix.rutgers.edu/rumba/dists/etch/perspect/source/net/fail2ban_0.7.5-2etch1~pre4.dsc Thank you in advance -- Yaroslav Halchenko Research Assistant, Psychology Department, Rutgers-Newark Student Ph.D. @ CS Dept.
