And I have a new one just for "unknown user" and here my bantime and findtime are much bigger and the retries are just '2'. So here I'm much harsher. I'll keep an eye on my logs and maybe some more twaeking is necessary.

Just be careful about typos (like twaeking!): users could simply misspell their username, or get mixed up with some another account or alias. This is why I favour targetting known bad accounts, not merely accounts that don't exist.
