Fail2ban denied again by selinux

[Cristian Sava]

After recent updates fail2ban was broken again.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
***************************

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed write access on the
fail2ban directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep fail2ban-client /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
