Refer to "fail2ban-client -h" for # valid options. FAIL2BAN_OPTS="" # Run fail2ban as a different user. If not set, fail2ban # will run as root. # # The user is not created automatically. # The user can be created e.g. with # useradd --system --no-create-home --home-dir / --groups adm fail2ban # Log files are readable by group adm by default. Adding the fail2ban # user to this group allows it to read the logfiles. # # Another manual step that needs to be taken is to allow write access # for fail2ban user to fail2ban log files. The /etc/init.d/fail2ban # script will change the ownership when starting fail2ban. Logrotate # needs to be configured separately, see /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban. # # FAIL2BAN_USER="fail2ban"
