Right, but Fail2Ban will only lock after X number of failed login attempts, right?
Correct.

Correct.
Ok, cool.

What do I do to configure Fail2Ban? I've never set it up before. Any good walkthroughs?

It sets itself up on install on most systems.

So nothing I really need to configure on it?

Nope. Out of the box it handles SSH.

What OS are you using?

I already had the Ubuntu 14.04 ISO on my ESXi server, so I used that. Keeps it all consistent. I was tempted to use CentOS though...

Why do you use an old version of Ubuntu? We are already halfway through the lifespan of 14.04's replacement, 14.10. 15.04 is just three months away.

I'm on 14.04 LTS. That's the recommended use version from Ubuntu. Check their site.

Also, when I update to 14.10, $4!+ goes haywire...
