I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out why fail2ban didn’t increment the ban count.

-bantime.incremet     = true
+bantime.increment    = true
 bantime.rndtime      =
 bantime.maxtime      =
 bantime.factor       = 1

After I found that I seriously considered becoming a goose farmer.

    Also spent an hour wondering why it didn’t evalute -z “{CMD_OUT_ERROR” as true, despite manually running the script and echoing “‘${CMD_OUT_ERROR}’” evaluating to ‘’… well it’s the missing $.

    At least it’s time spent in working hours and being paid for the mess that they use as deployment for IdentityIQ written in kornshell.
