This is more of a workaround I guess than a "solution". Ideally server
should be more clever and allow adding symlinks which eventually might
point to existing file. But that is probably would be too much complication
for a rare use case. User on the mailing list informed that then server
does not monitor even other files, thus as a quick workaround -- do not even add dangling links
* 'master' of git://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban:
BF: log error only if there were missed config files that couldn't be read
DOC: missing cinfo tags are ok. Log error for self referencing definitions
DOC: s/defination/definition/g learn to spell
ENH: remove stats of config files and use results of SafeConfigParserWithIncludes.read to facilitate meaningful error messages
DOC: ChangeLog for recursive tag substition
ENH: allow recursive tag substitution in action files.
is None is generally faster than == and from looking at those places
should be adequate.
Also while at those files removed unneded duplicate author listing +
expanded copyright/authors with myself where applicable
It also fixes#115 since current implementation provides similarly informative
error messages. But see #153 for possible improvements
* _tent/conf_d:
Reincarnated removed (by mistake) test for SplitAction
ENH: made log messages while parsing files more informative + test for inaccessible file (Closes: gh-24)
NF: allow customization configuration under corresponding .d directories (Closes gh-114)
Fix up for warning/error for inaccessible config files
Warn if config file present but unreadable
Conflicts:
fail2ban-testcases
Additional changes:
ENH: make basedir for Config's a kwarg to the constructor
ENH: improved analysis/reporting on presence/accessibility of config
files. Got carried away and forgot about existing work done by
Steven Hiscocks in the gh-115 -- will merge it in the next
commit for the fair ack of his work
Now for any X.conf configuration file we have following ways to
provide customizations
X.local -- read after .conf (kept for backward compatibility)
X.d/ -- directory to contain additional .conf files, sorted
alphabetically, e.g
X.d/01_enable.conf - to enable the jail
X.d/02_custom_port.conf - to change the port
X could be a 'jail' or 'fail2ban' or any other configuration file in
fail2ban.
Mention that all files still must contain the corresponding sections
(most of the time duplicating it across all of them).
