It should be robust since /var/run/fail2ban is guaranteed to exist to carry the
socket file, and it will be owned by root (or some other dedicated fail2ban
user) thus avoiding possibility for the exploit

* upstream-0.8:
spellcheck jail.conf. Thanks Christoph Anton Mitterer
default ignoreip to ignore entire loopback zone (/8): see http://bugs.debian.org/598200
Tai64N stores time in GMT, we need to convert to local time before returning
debug entry for lines ignored due to falling below findtime (v2)
disabling entirely named-refused-udp jail with a big fat warning
added time module. bug reported in buanzo's blog at http://blogs.buanzo.com.ar/2009/04/fail2ban-patch-ban-ip-address-manually.html
Should have been done long before -- debian/ branch tracks source
releases of fail2ban, and there was 0.8.4 which was at once merged into
debian-release (debian branch + patches/fixes) but not into debian
* commit 'upstream/0.8.4':
Imported Upstream version 0.8.4
- Use 80 columns.
- Fixed maxretry/findtime rate. Many thanks to Christos Psonis. Tracker #2019714.
- Made the named-refused regex a bit less restrictive in order to match logs with "view". Thanks to Stephen Gildea.
- Use timetuple instead of utctimetuple for ISO 8601. Maybe not a 100% correct fix but seems to work. Tracker #2500276.
- Changed <HOST> template to be more restrictive. Debian bug #514163.
- Added cyrus-imap and sieve filters. Thanks to Jan Wagner. Debian bug #513953.

- Remove socket file on startup is fail2ban crashed. Thanks to Detlef Reichelt.
* debian:
Replacing word of caution with big fat warning and commenting out named-refused-udp completely (Closes: #583364)
Adding arno-iptables-firewall (no deprecation of ipmasq per Joey Hess mentioning, which still could be used on lenny systems)
* up/fixes:
BF: proftpd filter -- if login failed -- count regardless of the reason for failure
BF: Allow for trailing spaces in proftpd logs (closes: #507986)
BF: be able to detect time for VNC recording only 2 letters of year (closes: #537610)
BF: escaping (). Thanks Teodor (Closes: #544744)
Conflicts:
config/filter.d/proftpd.conf
* debian:
actually boosting policy
BF: use "set logtartet" instead of "reload" while logrotate. Thanks J.M.Roth (Closes: #537773)
BF: adjusted README.Debian - multiport is default (closes: #545971)
* up/log_examples:
added proftpd examples from wiki
NF: few examples for pure-ftpd
* upstream: (21 commits)
