Hi did this patch make it through to anyone back in September? I guess the
html in the initial message caused an issue, so in plain text here's what I
had said:

I've noticed that I get a lot of "Unmatched Entries" for repeated password
failures from sshd, e.g.

message repeated 2 times: [ Failed password for root from x.x.x.x port x
ssh2] : 1 time(s)

Attached patch pulls out the '2 times' and increments the failed attempts
for the report, and removes these unmatched entries.

This is a really big cleanup for me and hopefully will help others. I've
also added some options to the man page that are listed in the synopsis and
in --usage but spelled out in the body of the man page.
