Package: fail2ban Version: 0.8.6-3wheezy3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, the init script for fail2ban is missing $named as dependency. So it's getting started before named is running, and the initial processing of log files fails on all lines with a hostname.
So you should change # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $named # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $named For completeness you should als add "ufw" to Sholud-Start and Should-Stop. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fail2ban depends on: ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 ii python 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 ii python-central 0.6.17 Versions of packages fail2ban recommends: ii iptables 1.4.14-3.1 ii python-gamin 0.1.10-4.1 ii whois 5.1.1~deb7u1 Versions of packages fail2ban suggests: ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.5-2+deb7u1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf changed [not included] /etc/init.d/fail2ban changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
