User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0 Build Identifier: The fail2ban version availbale with openSuSE 13.2 is not capable of parsing the systemd-journal. Therefore an existing 13.1 configuration that bans ip's based on failed logins will not work when upgrading to 13.2 (fail2ban fails to start saying /var/log/messages does not exist). This essentially disables the security provided by fail2ban against brute-force attacks. Reproducible: Always
