FreeBSD Port: py27-fail2ban-0.9.0_2

[Stavros Patiniotis]

Hello,

 

I've been trying to work out why logging via syslog does not function and
found that fail2ban has a hard coded socket for the syslog daemon which is
not BSD compatible. Here is a patch to resolve, otherwise pass it upstream
to have the project make it a configuration directive.

logging.handlers.SysLogHandler("/dev/log", facility=facility)

logging.handlers.SysLogHandler("/var/run/log", facility=facility)
