What happened?
Automatic banning
Auth failures (Optional) 8 366 days
What does this mean:
A: if in an ARBITRARILY long period, 8 auth failures accumulate, the IP will be blocked for a duration of 366 days
OR
B: If in a (sliding) interval of 366 days, 8 auth failures accumulate, the IP will be blocked INDEFINITELY.
From the hover legends "The maxium number of failed login attempts before the IP is banned" it doesn't follow which of the two possible semantic interpretations is applicable. The fact that under Blocked IPs there's no "days remaining" counter in the list, would suggest B, but that's just a wild guess.
How can we reproduce the problem?
