Dear Fail2ban users,
running fail2ban v.0.10.1 on an opensuse box.
currently looking into the recidive jail to ban persistent abusers.
From what i understand the bans are stored in the persistent database
storage so the bans can be added on restart without re-scanning the logs
files.
If i set a bantime of 1w in recidive jail the jail.conf informs me that
i should increase the dbpurgeage to 7.5 days
so the bans with 1w can live long enough before getting purged
but if i do a permanent bantime -1 what value should I set the dbpurgeage?
what's the relation between bantime, persistent storage and dbpurgeage?
would be nice if someone could perhaps enlighten me on the topic ;)
thanks & greetings
Becki
