[BR]: basic setup fail

[fbifido]

debian 12.5 minimal with ssh

apt install fail2ban nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf , find [sshd], add maxretry =3, enable = true reboot now.

• everything is working.

• I was told not to modify any *.conf file, no i created an empty jail.local file, then paste this in: [sshd] port = ssh logpath = %(sshd_log)s backend = %(sshd_backend)s maxretry = 3 enable = true

after reboot only getting this error message: "[519]: ERROR Failed during configuration: Have not found any log file for sshd jail" Apr 30 14:06:54 koha-01 systemd[1]: fail2ban.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION Apr 30 14:06:54 koha-01 systemd[1]: fail2ban.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I know little about linux, but how hard is it to follow a simple tutorial and have it work: https://www.howtogeek.com/675010/how-to-secure-your-linux-computer-with-fail2ban/

Dup of #3292, already fixed in newest version.
