Fedora 14 : fail2ban-0.8.4-27.fc14 (2011-5153)

fail2ban used predictable /tmp files which a local user can allocate before fail2ban does. All tmp files have been moved to /var/lib/fail2ban. This also helps with selinux policies. Another security related fix is that fail2ban defaulted to gamin which conflicts with selinux, so users had to...
