ToDo $Revision$
=============================================================
Legend:
- not yet done
? maybe
# partially done
* done
# implement all get/set functions
- correct handling of threads (join???)
- signal handling (ctrl-c, etc)
* add a reload option to fail2ban-client
- see Feature Request Tracking System at SourceForge.net
* findall in dns.py should be no more needed
* remove utils/ directory
- improve installation process (better prefix support)
# improve documentation and website for user
* use Doxygen
- use PyLint to check the code
* better configuration files
- add a check to see if the time of the log messages is
correctly detected (valid regexp)
* remove debug mode (root check)
# better return values in function
? use more email.Utils in mail.py
? add gettext support. Is this really needed for a server
utility?
* send an email when fail2ban is running
* add multithreading. Python threading is not really
efficient. However, fail2ban could benefit of it. We could
use threads like this:
- one thread which check for host to unban.
- one thread per file to watch. This will allow things like
different polling time for each file.
<srv> is read-only (we only read log files) thus no locks
are required. However, <meth> is read-write and must take
care of concurrency in case of multithreading.
- add FAM/Gamin support. Should be quite efficient with
threading. Take care that handle_one_event() release the
Python lock.
# add a test framework. We could use unittest which is in
Python since 2.1. It should be possible to run all tests
automatically.
* add client/server using socket. Something similar to
gdesklets. DBUS seems to be designed for desktop use.
- fail2ban start -> start the daemon.
- fail2ban stop -> stop the daemon.
- fail2ban add <srv> <meth> -> add <srv> monitoring with
<meth> ban method (iptables, hosts.deny, etc).
- fail2ban del <srv> -> remove <srv> monitoring.
- fail2ban status <srv> -> query current fail2ban status.
Should return infos like a ban counter. Could be graph
with rrdtool.
- fail2ban pause <srv> -> suspend monitoring.
- fail2ban resume <srv> -> resume monitoring.
- fail2ban list -> list available services.
- fail2ban flush <srv> -> flush the <srv> ban list.
* remove PID file.
* remove most of the command lines options if possible.
- add the possibility to specify wildcard in log files.
Example: logfile = /var/log/apache2/access-*.log
Should we start one thread per file or just one thread per
serivce?
- autodetect date format in log file. Match the most popular
format and sort them using the hit ratio. Should avoid
user problem with regex and not have a big impact on perfs.
? restart automatically the daemon if an exception occurs.
- do not close socket after a send
- refactoring in server.py, actions.py, filter.py
