Our OpenRC conf file already tells users how to find the available
options that can be placed in the FAIL2BAN_OPTIONS variable, so having
a specific example of,
FAIL2BAN_OPTIONS="-x"
doesn't provide much more information. In fact, it makes you wonder
why it's there in the first place: does the init script have some kind
of problem with stale sockets? It used to, but that problem has been
fixed. This commit removes the redundant example.
There were two paths mentioned in comments in the fail2ban OpenRC conf
file, but those paths aren't guaranteed to be correct (until/unless we
integrate the conf file with the build system).
The first comment referenced the physical location of the associated
init script, and in my opinion is not useful to an end user in the
first place. It has been removed: OpenRC users know what this file
is for, there's no reason to repeat it in a comment.
The second comment contained an absolute path to fail2ban-client, and
I've removed the leading path components because "fail2ban-client" is
generally run from your $PATH.
We ship a service script and configuration file for "gentoo" that are
actually more generally applicable: they work on any system where
OpenRC is used. This commit simply renames the files from "gentoo" to
"openrc" to reflect the fact that they are in no way Gentoo-specific.
