#53578 assigned defect

fail2ban @0.9.3 doesn't install plist during installation or configuration

Reported by: blgantner (Brennan Gantner) Owned by:
Priority: Low Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.4.0
Keywords: Cc:
Port: fail2ban

Description

OS: ElCap and Sierra, Xcode: 8.2.1

After installation of fail2ban, command "sudo port load fail2ban" fails due to the .plist not being copied or linked to in /Library/LaunchDaemons/. Found this same error in two computers (one Sierra, one ElCap, both same macports 2.4.0 and fail2ban 0.9.3). In both cases, I copied the plist present in the macports tree to /Library/LaunchDaemons manually and it loaded and ran correctly.

sudo port load fail2ban
Password:
Error: Failed to load fail2ban: Launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.fail2ban.plist was not found

As an addition that I just thought of, macports on both computers is set up to install in a custom directory without su needed to install ports. This is likely why it couldn't create/link to /Library/LaunchDaemons. However, it did not produce any error or warning of that failure. This may be the actual bug.
