Package: fail2ban Version: 0.7.5-2 Severity: minor Hi there,
This is really more of an optimization thing that anything, and is not all that important. Currently, fail2ban does iptables -L | grep fail2ban-<name> There are two issues I have with this, both admittedly minor: This causes rdns lookups for all rulesets, which are potentially slow to return if you purposefully have entries to drop some invalid addresses not in DNS. Second, it ignores a feature of iptables: `iptables -L $chain` works just fine. Combining these two minor complaints, the correct action line would be: iptables -nL fail2ban-<name> Thanks for considering, and thanks for maintaining this, -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Versions of packages fail2ban depends on: ii iptables 1.3.6.0debian1-5 administration tools for packet fi ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.12 register and build utility for Pyt ii python2.4 2.4.4-3 An interactive high-level object-o fail2ban recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
