[asterisk-users] asterisk and fail2ban

[vip killa]

Back to the original question, for those of you using Fail2Ban,
Does it take an unusually high amount of break-in attempts before attackers
are banned?
I have it set to 5 attempts in fail2ban but usually, the attacker is able to
make over 100 attempts before fail2ban bans them.
I've tried this using asterisk's /var/log/asterisk/messages and
/var/log/messages with same results.
Perhaps someone else is experiencing this or has resolved it, thank you.
