sshguard prefers to use the "log-sucker" way of parsing authlog. I don't
even have a mention of sshguard in syslog.conf.

the rc script just basically daemonises sshguard, and points it at
/var/log/authlog

# /etc/rc.d/sshguard
daemon="/usr/local/sbin/sshguard"
# REALLY Touchy version
daemon_flags="-a 3 -l /var/log/authlog -w /var/db/sshguard/friends.db
- -b 5:/var/db/sshguard/blacklist.db"
# Less Touchy Version
#daemon_flags="-l /var/log/authlog -w /var/db/sshguard/friends.db -b
5:/var/db/sshguard/blacklist.db"

. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr

rc_bg=YES
rc_reload=NO

rc_cmd $1


sshguard documentation on their website is quite thorough on how to
install/use. The documentation on how to tweak is a little lacking though.

All that is missing from an install of sshguard is the required entries
into pf.conf, and which log files to monitor in the rc script.

Works very, very well I might add.

Good luck!

Cheers
Chris
