Thanks for adding a rc.d script for sshguard making it unnecessary to edit
syslog.conf after every update. But after looking to the script I see some
problems. We are using this command:
| auth.info;authpriv.info    |exec /usr/local/sbin/sshguard -p 4200 -s 3600 -w 1.2.3.4/26

But via the -w command-line option it is possible to add explicit addresses,
host names, address blocks or a file name.

Also the script enables permanent blacklisting unconditionally without an option
to disable it.

regards,
Hilko
