From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you get locked out by your own fail2ban rules then you've probably forgotten your password.
Not to mentionyoull probably be able to get control back using your hosts console.
sure sure it's just fail2ban doesn't just apply to SSH and can get your IP banned if you typo on your password on some web service... and from there you can't SSH into the server to fix the problem ;) ;)
Yeah if you dont configure it properly. Ive never actually know anyone get locked out by fail2ban
