I just checked, both will work, with or without additional arguments/parameters
to sshguard, on a FreeBSD 8.1R box.

That's probably the best advice; see what's happening to the data.

Here, sshguard was one of those too-good-to-be-true gadgets - it just
installed, ran, and functioned out of the box.  We had to tweak it just
a bit to avoid it getting paranoid about our NMS port checks, but that
was it.
