Topic: /var/log/daemon: fail2ban.utils[xxx]: ERROR xxx No such file or direct

Looks like there may be a typo in one of the fail2ban scripts, as I'm getting the following errors in /var/log/daemon:

Re: /var/log/daemon: fail2ban.utils[xxx]: ERROR xxx No such file or direct

Please install package "bash".
Did you remove it after iRedMail installation?

I did not remove it, it is still installed.

% which bash
/usr/local/bin/bash

I feel like there is an issue with:

exec: ['f2bV_ipjailmatches=$0 \n/usr/local/bin/fail2ban_banned_db ban 165.154.208.108 80,443,25,587,465,110,995,143,993,4190 tcp postfix 5 $f2bV_ipjailmatches', '

Maybe with the spacing after "\n"?

This is so unclear and confusing.

Seems shell script with shabang line "#!/usr/bin/env bash" doesn't work.

Does it work if you replace the first line in /usr/local/bin/fail2ban_banned_db by below one?

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

Changing the shabang line solved that problem, but also fail2ban will not load jails after a reboot. I have to manually reload them with this command:

doas fail2ban-client -x reload

Is there a way to have the jails load upon boot?

I have same issue on OpenBSD 7.6, but starting / restarting fail2ban service loads the jails correctly.
Didn't figure out why it happens yet. sad
