[SSHGuard-users] SSHGuard 1.6.4 release announcement

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

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce the release of SSHGuard 1.6.4 [1]. This release
brings updated signatures, usability improvements, and bug fixes.
Highlights in this release include:

    - 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.

As usual, please report any bugs, build failures, or other issues to
the mailing list or the Bitbucket tracker [2].

If you haven't already, please take 2-3 minutes to complete a survey
about how you use SSHGuard:
