# Fail2Ban configuration file. # # This file was composed for Debian systems from the original one # provided now under /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/examples/jail.conf # for additional examples. # # Comments: use '#' for comment lines and ';' for inline comments # # To avoid merges during upgrades DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE # and rather provide your changes in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local # # The DEFAULT allows a global definition of the options.
