Do not trigger sshd bans on pam_unix authentication failures, this will trigger on successful logins on systems that use non-pam_unix authentication (sssd, ldap, etc.).
Noticed while looking at the source (to see the point of ssh-ddos).
POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT - sounds scary? But keep reading
the message. It's not a login failure. It's a warning about
reverse-DNS. The login can still succeed, and if it _does_ fail,
that will be logged as normal.

ar, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!

The problem (in my mind) is that some users are stuck with bad dns.
The warning won't stop them from logging in. I'm pretty sure they can't
even see it. But when they exceed a threshold number of logins -
which could be all successful logins - fail2ban will trigger.
fail2ban shouldn't adding additional checks to successful logins
- it goes against the name fail2ban :)
- the first X "POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT"s would be permitted anyway
- if you want to ban bad DNS, the right way is PARANOID in /etc/hosts.deny
I've checked the source of OpenSSH, and this will only affect the
reverse-DNS error. (I won't be offended if you want to check
for yourself though ;)
