 * Hello,
    i try everything, read the FAQ and this Forum. But i can get no Logging
   in /var/log/auth !
 * I Use `define('WP_FAIL2BAN_AUTH_LOG',LOG_AUTHPRIV);` and i try without this Line
   in wpconfig.
 * I ve have an own Server with multiple WordPress Installation and Domains.
    The
   System ist an Ubuntu 14.04.
 * I found the following lines in /etc/rsyslog.d/
 *     ```
       auth,authpriv.*                 /var/log/auth.log
       *.*;auth,authpriv.none          -/var/log/syslog
       ```
   
 * So, where and what ist my Problem?
 * Thanks for help.

 * Have you checked `/var/log/syslog`?
 * If there’s nothing in there, check where PHP is logging errors. *WPf2b* will 
   write to the PHP error log if it can’t open syslog, and if you’ve enabled `WP_DEBUG`
   it’ll log successfully opening syslog too.
 * Hopefully one of those will give a better idea of what’s not working.

 * Thanks for Reply.
    There ist nothing in the syslog.
 * But in the php-error-log are the following lines:
 * > HP message: PHP Warning: syslog() openlog() has been disabled for security 
   > reasons
 * So, i enabled openlog and syslog in the php.ini.
 * Now, it works fine. 🙂
    Many Thanks for help.
 * Best regards
