Well thanks for the idea. I've looked into iptables-save and I guess I
could - with a bit of an effort - write a script perhaps with grep and
sed that extracts the relevant IP information, but what I'm missing is
the timeframe information. If an IP is due to be unbanned in, say, three
days time how can I see that from the output of iptables-save?

Where does fail2ban save its information?

Thanks...
