# 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. # # To avoid merges during upgrades DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE # and rather provide your changes in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local # # Author: Yaroslav O. Halchenko # # $Revision: 281 $ # # The DEFAULT allows a global definition of the options. They can be override # in each jail afterwards.
