Package: fail2ban Version: 0.8.3-5 Severity: normal fail2ban suggests python-gamin, which suggests to me that gamin will be used if available.
However, in /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf: # "backend" specifies the backend used to get files modification. Available # options are "gamin", "polling" and "auto". # yoh: For some reason Debian shipped python-gamin didn't work as expected # This issue left ToDo, so polling is default backend for now backend = polling This suggests that gamin doesn't work.
