Lovely -- thanks for sharing. Posted it on fail2ban's Google+ https://plus.google.com/100687954024121389562/posts/ct32cfi1fi7 > But willing is not enough; I just do not have the knowledge!

Let's grow it -- once again -- every contribution regardless how small would be of help, including documentation triage/rewording etc. Everything is on github. Also if someone could go through wiki and possibly find stale/incorrect "articles" and/or move appropriate pieces to the documentation within fail2ban repository -- would be great. > I wish the fail2ban project all the best, and once again I thank its > developers for it.
