FAIL2BAN weirdness on Centos 7.2 - I suspect latest version is incompatible with the webmin module

I have Virtualmin running on Centos 6.7 with FAIL2BAN and that has been running fine for months

I am migrating to Centos 7.2 and now installing FAIL2BAN (Using the instructions - EPEL)

The installation appeared to work fine

fail2ban.noarch 0.9.3-1.el7 @epel fail2ban-firewalld.noarch 0.9.3-1.el7 @epel fail2ban-sendmail.noarch 0.9.3-1.el7 @epel fail2ban-server.noarch 0.9.3-1.el7 @epel

HOWEVER - The jails are not preconfigured. So for example the filter to use is not configured. Also naming has changed, but I guess that is unhelpful but intentional.

I have attached an example for SSHD.

It seems to be only possible to set 1 action eg iptables-allports (so I can't also send an email for example)

I could of course set the parameters myself. I tried this and when I saved I saw this error:

Failed to save jail : Invalid looking name parameter for action 1

I have set up a rule for sshd by hand in jail.conf and that works fine.

Conclusion: I suspect that fail2ban has changed and the webmin module is incompatible
