It will sleep between attempts for "polltime" number of seconds (closes: #334272). * To overcome possible conflict with other firewall solutions and as a secondary solution for the bug 334272, fail2ban startup is moved during bootup to the latest (S99) sequenece position. That should not cause any discomfort I believe. -- Yaroslav Halchenko Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:54:38 -0400 fail2ban (0.5.4-5.14) unstable; urgency=low * Added a notification regarding the importance of 0.5.4-5 change of failregex in the config file. * Adjusted address to FSF. * Adjusted failregex for SSH so it bans "Illegal user" entries as well, and restricted full failregex more to include ":" at the beginning, because otherwise it might not be sufficient and would revive bug 330827 (closes: #333056). * Adjusted failregex for SSH to accommodate recent changes in logging of SSH: Illegal -> Invalid. Should match both now. * Fixed a problem of raise AttributeError exception reported as a side effect of crash during parsing of the config file. * Introduced fwcheck option to verify consistency of the chains. Implemented automatic restart of fail2ban main function in case check of fwban or fwunban command failed (closes: #329163, #331695). (Introduced patch was further adjusted by upstream author). * Added -f command line parameter for [findtime]. * Fixed the issue of not respecting command line parameters for parameters within sections. * Added -e command line parameter to provide enabled sections from command line. * Added a cleanup of firewall rules on emergency shutdown when unknown exception is catched. * Fail2ban should not crash now if a wrong file name is specified in config. -- Yaroslav Halchenko Mon, 3 Oct 2005 22:26:28 -1000 fail2ban (0.5.4-5) unstable; urgency=low * Made failregex'es more specific to don't allow usernames to be used as a tool for denial of service attacks.

in parsing of the subject and the body of an email sent out by fail2ban (closes: #330311) -- Yaroslav Halchenko Wed, 27 Sep 2005 08:09:06 -0400 fail2ban (0.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release -- Yaroslav Halchenko Tue, 20 Sep 2005 12:19:19 -0400 fail2ban (0.5.3-2) unstable; urgency=low * Refined comments in README.Debian * Reindented init.d script P.S.
