Extension talk:Fail2banlog

=Typo in filter.= The mediawiki filter in .etc.fail2ban/filter.d, regex has a typo in it

Authuntification error .* should read Authentication error

so fail2ban can get the correct regex and ban the IP

=Whitelisting IPs= How could I roll back a banned ip? Is there a whitelist of ip addreses I can create while configuring this plugin on my wiki?

 * You can configure it in Fail2Ban (whitelist). Fail2ban add rules to your firewall, you can remove the rules using your firewall administration software. (depend of your firewall)

=Log bad user name too?= The extension works well to log the case when a valid username with an invalid password is entered. Could it be expanded to also log the case where an invalid username is entered? That would allow fail2ban to prevent a brute-force attack to determine valid usernames.
