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.

    because of garbage like that I always use the long option names in scripts, even when the short one would be obvious

      Yeah, for scripts that should be the norm. It really helps with legibility and maintainability, not having to have the manual open for 5 programs while tweaking stuff. 👌
