The first "ban" reference above is the ban admin executable
that allows temporary banning, expiring bans, listing bans,
dumping bans, etc. This resides in $(DESTIDIR)/$(LIBDIR)/tools.
The second reference above is the script that's called via
the in-game "admin ban" command. This script also appears
to be deprecated and does not add the ban to the etc/ip/deny
directory but continues to add it to the etc/banned file
instead.
