SSHGuard uses the '-w' argument to iptables, however, the '-w' argument
is fairly new and probably not available on your machine. A patch to fix
this problem was committed in the development branch, but has not made
it to a release. I've added this patch to the 1.6.2 release that's
supposed to be coming imminently.

Thanks,
