Glob ensures the file exists so only a check that a missing dangling
symlink needs to be done.
$ ls -la /tmp/f2b-tempq0ipGY/f2

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
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).
