Using Fail2Ban could be easier if it provided some commands like showing ban list and unbanning and setting the limts instead of having to do everything with arguments in loadmod.

Notices about banning would also be nice and so would whitelists which could be configured as temporary or permanent depending on if someone has static IP.

Consider that a client tries to login as 'foo' and such user doesn't exist. Where should it send the notification? To all admins? It's a global module so there's no way for individual admins to opt-in or opt-out.

and so would whitelists which could be configured as temporary or permanent depending on if someone has static IP.

...and the wishlist keeps going. :P
