>Description:
When sshd decides to ask blocklistd to consider blocking an address, it should be associated with a clear log message saying what happened that led it to this decision.

But it's not -- the paths to pfilter_notify in sshd, where it calls into blocklistd, are not clearly associated with log messages that can be diagnosed.
>How-To-Repeat:
pore over /var/log/authlog trying to find why a legitimate user keeps getting blocked
>Fix:
Make sure there is a clear log message near every call to pfilter_notify.
