fail2ban not creating pid file

fail2ban got updated yesterday. Could you retest this with 0.8.0-1 ?

FWIW - fail2ban > 0.7 doesn't create a pidfile iirc. All actions
(start/stop/etc) are initiated by the fail2ban-client which either
starts fail2ban-server or sends requests to the running -server via the
socket file.

Yaroslav, you're right, fail2ban does not create pid file. Let's mark this bug as invalid.
