[SSHGuard-maintainers] SSHGuard 1.6.4 landing soon

[Kevin Z. <kev...@gm...>]

Greetings,

SSHGuard 1.6.4 is just around the corner, bringing these changes:

    - Match Postfix pre-authentication disconnects
    - Fix bashisms in iptables backend
    - Fix size argument in inet_ntop() call
    - Remove excessive logging when polling from files
    - Keep looking for unreadable files while polling
    - Update Dovecot signature for POP3
    - Match "Connection reset" message for SSH
    - Resurrect PID file option by popular demand
    - Adjust default abuse threshold

Most notably, some default options have changed. The abuse threshold has
been reduced to 30 (3 attacks) and the initial block time has been
lowered to 2 minutes (from 7). These settings can be overridden from the
command line. Package maintainers should check their scripts.

The PID file option (-p) has been resurrected.

If no major issues come up, the 1.6.4 tarball will be released in the
coming week. You can test-drive this release by cloning from the
'master' branch in the Bitbucket repository.

Cheers,
Kevin
