-- Yaroslav O. Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com>, Thu Oct 20 13:24:56 2005 Ban time:
An IP is banned for "bantime" not since the last failed login attempt
from the IP, but rather since the moment when failed login was
detected by fail2ban. Thus, if fail2ban gets [re]started, any IP which
had enough of failed logins within "findtime" will be banned for
"bantime" since [re]start moment, not since the last failed login
time.
