Temp to perm ban works until you remove the IP

[cloudseeder]

Once an IP address has been through the temp to perm ban cycle the status is changed to PERM in /var/lib/csf/csf.tempip. If you then remove the ban on the IP using "csf -dr IP" the IP will never be subject to being banned again because the entry in /var/lib/csf/csf.tempip is not removed and lfd ignores new entries if it finds a matching IP entry with a PERM ban flag. I think the lfd code looks sane (quick look) but "csf -dr should remove the entry from /var/lib/csf/csf.tempip as well as from /etc/csf/csf.deny.

Thank you for reporting this. We'll have a fix for it in the next release of csf.

Could it be a good idea to clean the /var/lib/csf/csf.tempip if there is no temp ips ?

This should be fixed in csf v6.43:

Once again, my question, is ok to clean csf.tempip? I don't need any IPs that are there. Or is there a clean utility among CSF to clean that type of files?

You can empty the file if you want to.

Thanks! I have done that, appreciated.
