Description Johan Bergström 2013-11-24 11:02:23 UTC

There's ways of running fail2ban as a non-root user. In order to do so, we need to expose user/group passed to start-stop-daemon in the conf.d.

Here's the documentation for accomplishing a non-root fail2ban:

We don't use our own conf.d script - upstream provides that.
