[arch-general] Archlinux fail2ban not working

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi Maykel,

I don't use fail2ban, but I've just skimmed
https://fail2ban.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filters.html#developing-filter-regular-expressions
You may find the ‘debuggex’ reference useful.

I take that to mean it was happy with the timestamp.

How about

    failregex = ^\S+: Unknown User .* \(<HOST>\)$
