    Question var/log/wtmp.db created in httpdocs after FTP login

    Upon further testing, it seems the problem is with the Service Plan. It was migrated from a Debian 12.13+Obsidian 18.0.74#3 server (tested there, no file created) Switching it to "Default Domain" on the new server for the domain prevents it from creating that file in the document root.

    Issue Creating a new fail2ban jail restarts the service

    Hi, when creating a new fail2ban jail in fail2ban (v1.1.0) through the Plesk UI (v18.0.70#1), the fail2ban service is restarted, clearing the banned IPs and forcing to restore all the previous bans. This causes a spike in CPU usage until all the IPs are banned again. Is that the desired...

    Didn't know this option, perfect! Also, I would recommend turning on the userlogins option: $config['log_logins'] = true;
