Firewall policy has a simple rule: 

Deny all not allowed

When setting up something that will auto-ban hosts or networks, you need
the opposite of the firewall rule -- namely, to allow tings you don't
want banned. Surely you can see where I'm going. It's an obvious
conclusion, I'd think. It might be okay for a desktop machine, but nothing
more advanced....

Lest I sound like I'm picking on some vendor/writer of code... logcheck
rocks.
