Hi Andrea,

The project was renamed from "swatch" to "swatchdog", I renamed it in
the ports tree to match upstream and updated it to 3.2.4. Please note
that everything inside was renamed to swatchdog, including the service
script and variable prefixes in /etc/rc.conf.

You can install it using

portsnap fetch update
cd /usr/ports/security/swatchdog
make install clean

(deinstall swatch beforehand)

Cheers,
Michael
