# Fail2Ban configuration file. | |

# This file was composed for Debian systems from the original one | |

# Comments: use '#' for comment lines and ';' for inline comments | |

# To avoid merges during upgrades DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE | |
# and rather provide your changes in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local | |
# | |
# The DEFAULT allows a global definition of the options. They can be overridden | |
# in each jail afterwards. | |

# defined using space separator. | |
