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.

    This is such an underutilized and neglected behavior.

    The very least a config parser should do is to log a warning.
