sshguard - rc and blacklisting

[Per olof Ljungmark]

Hello,

Either I am doing it wrong or sshguard is not properly implemented.

1. In the config file /usr/local/etc/sshguard.conf there is a parameter

# Colon-separated blacklist threshold and full path to blacklist file.
# (optional, no default)
#BLACKLIST_FILE=120:/var/db/sshguard/blacklist.db

however, the threshold setting does not seem to have any effect. If I
change the setting in rc.d/sshguard, it does take effect.

2. Looking at /var/db/sshguard/blacklist.db, each row looks like
1539615075|220|4|143.0.65.92

There is another setting in the config,
# Size of IPv4 subnet to block. Defaults to a single address, CIDR
notation. (optional, default to 32)
IPV4_SUBNET=32

I have tried to alter this setting to /24 and /29, auth.log says
Blocking "143.0.65.92/29" forever
but blacklist.db does not indiciate any different CDIR than /32.

Any ideas?
