I switched to a workaround for the time being which you might use as well in a
similar way:

#) configure fail2ban to use /var/log/faillog
#) run something like that in the background:

	nohup tail -q -F /var/log/fail2ban.log | logger -t fail2ban.filter -p
daemon.notice &

#) to let this workaround survive a reboot you need to use a script fired up
from /etc/rc.d

Michael

I have rolled back to r334835. The issue has gone. Should a PR be
created about this regression ?

BTW a few decent syslog daemons are available in /usr/ports/sysutils.
