Hi, This is all because of the following line in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/sshd.conf:
which in lenny version it is: " ^%(__prefix_line)sAddress <HOST> .* POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT\s*$" while in the squeeze version has been corrected to: " ^%(__prefix_line)sAddress <HOST> .* POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!*\s*$" The quote sign was omitted in the lenny version. You'll have to manually backport the python-central package when installing the squeeze fail2ban version but that went fine. Hope this helps without manually interfering with config. -- Costin Gusa Independent IT Professional http://ro.linkedin.com/in/costinel +407.23.24.71.79 +40723.010.262 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
