Just installed the package and found a few bugs upon starting the service: - jail.conf file was loading "paths-debian.conf" instead of "paths-common.conf", so it wouldn't even start. - Needs sqlite3 flag to enable database support and edit fail2ban.conf to match. If not set, needs to default to ":memory:" or "None", - Tries to use "/var/log/auth.log" instead of "/var/log/messages", the default with syslog-ng. This probably needs some configuration or just print a warning with some pointers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install fail2ban 2.Start the service 3. Actual Results: Service fails to start due to various configuration errors on Gentoo systems.

Works for me. You should be more specific. I am changing the Summary accordingly. > - Needs sqlite3 flag to enable database support and edit fail2ban.conf to > match. If not set, needs to default to ":memory:" or "None", No it does not. If you want that, then that's your local system administrator's choice, not something to be magically set for everyone else. > - Tries to use "/var/log/auth.log" instead of "/var/log/messages", the > default with syslog-ng.
