What is displayed in dmesg is the text that is display during a system 
restart - no address blocking required as the server is in its startup 
phase.

How do I use the configure sshguard? I did install it running make 
config first (resulting in "No options to configure") and then running 
make install clean.

I have sshguard-ipfw-1.6.4_1 up-and-running currently.

Best regards,
