Re: [Fail2ban-users] Possible bug in fail2ban-regex?

[<Joh...@ce...>]

unfortunately, my system is located in North America, and the product 
creating this log (Axway SecureTransport) is incapable of outputting the 
date in other formats.  I'm stuck with a hodge-podge of date formats on 
this system.

Yaroslav,

                 Can't you check the locale to determine the proper 
date/time 
format?  US formats are all MM-DD-YYYY.  European might be DD-MM-YYYY 
although I'm not sure which locales support that setting.  Either 
way, it should be possible to determine the proper format rather than 
guessing by looking at the current time.

Just a thought.
