Hi All,
Read articles of configuration like postfix, fail2ban etc… And sometimes i see that they let you save the original config file like jail.conf to jail.local and you need change everything on the .local instead of .conf
I think that when i create a .local centos will read that file instead of the .conf file is that right? So i can hold the .conf file as it is (original)
Can i do that with all the config files .conf?

<blockquote>I think that when i create a .local centos will read that file instead of the .conf file is that right? </blockquote> <br>Almost. fail2ban reads that file, not CentOS. Which makes the answer to <strong>Can i do that with all the config files .conf?</strong> a no. It depends on whether the program you’re going to run supports that or not. <br> <br>As far as I know, .config/.jail is fail2ban specific. Postfix does not support that.
