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).

Fail2Ban (version 0.8.8) 2012/07/31
================================================================================
Fail2Ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail and bans IP that makes too many
password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. These
rules can be defined by the user. Fail2Ban can read multiple log files such as
sshd or Apache web server ones.
This README is a quick introduction to Fail2ban. More documentation, FAQ, HOWTOs
are available on the project website: http://www.fail2ban.org
Installation:

To install, just do:
> tar xvfj fail2ban-0.8.8.tar.bz2

This will install Fail2Ban into /usr/share/fail2ban. The executable scripts are
placed into /usr/bin.
It is possible that Fail2ban is already packaged for your distribution. In this
case, you should use it.
Fail2Ban should be correctly installed now. Just type:
> fail2ban-client -h
to see if everything is alright. You should always use fail2ban-client and never
call fail2ban-server directly.

You can configure Fail2ban using the files in /etc/fail2ban. It is possible to
configure the server using commands sent to it by fail2ban-client. The available
