[Sshguard-users] OpenBSD/pf Bug

[Libertas <lib...@my...>]

Hi, everyone. I'm not sure if I can send emails here without
registering, but I thought I might as well try.

I just wanted to mention a potential bug I encountered on a generic
up-to-date installation of OpenBSD 5.5, using the current SSHGuard
version in the ports tree (I think... otherwise it came from the
packages tree). When I tried to whitelist an IP address with "sshguard
-w <ip>", it hung indefinitely. When I came back half an hour later and
saw it still hanging, I used ^C to kill it and saw something like
"Permission denied: /bin/pfctl".

It seems that this permission denied report should be immediate, and
that the program shouldn't hang indefinitely.

Thanks for reading,
