UPGRADING:
|
|
|
|
Please make sure you have all your modifications done to .local files instead of
|
|
.conf files.
|
|
|
|
Making modifications to .local files is the recommended practice as per the
|
|
software manual. Each .conf file is overridden by equivalent .local file.
|
|
Please refer Configuration section in fail2ban manual.
