[arm-allstar] Script to ban IP

[David McGough]

Personally, I don't recommend fail2ban on the RPi platform. While this
utility can be very useful, it can also be VERY, VERY HEAVY!  It can
unexpectedly consume lots of CPU cycles and memory, causing more of a
headache than the problem it should solve.

BTW, I run and manage fail2ban across a large PC server farm. 


Just my $0.02.
