You can configure SSHGuard by passing it options from the command line;
type `sshguard -h` for a list of options.

Depending on your operating system and how you run SSHGuard, you will
need to pass these command line options differently.

Blocked addresses are released after a certain amount of time, unless
you have blacklisting enabled.
