Description

- update the following section based on a suggestion in DisQus:https://www.linode.com/docs/security/using-fail2ban-to-secure-your-server-a-tutorial/#other-jail-configuration

- another comment on DisQus:
I suspect you need both(one for sshd which the daemon and one for port 22?) in my case the output of fail2ban-client status shows 0 jail not sure why - I guess I am missing something

**************************************************
Should the average jail configuration section in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local be "[sshd]"? It currently says "[ssh]".
