I think that's more or less a problem (or bug) in fail2ban. Which specific version of fail2ban are you running? (Adding netmon@) (In reply to comment #1) > I think that's more or less a problem (or bug) in fail2ban. Playing around with fail2ban revealed the bug for me, but it can be reproduced by carrying out the steps I stated in the initial post. I agree that fail2ban also has a bug - it should not create hosts.deny as 600. But that's not the point of the report I filed. In my opinion, it's a bug in cyrus' handling of the hosts.deny file. It hits whenever this file exists but cannot be read by the cyrus user. (In reply to comment #2) > In my opinion, it's a bug in cyrus' handling of the hosts.deny file.
