For the use of certain > programmers libraries I cannot speak as I am not a programmer :-) LogSuck isn't an external program or library, but a nickname for the part of SSHGuard that currently polls log files. It's historically somewhat buggy and hard to get the platform-specific parts right (kqueue, select, poll, etc.) and is essentially a glorified implementation of what `tail` already does, so it'll be ripped out and replaced with an exec to `tail`. I hope your system has one :) > Btw: Is there any way that I can contribute by donation? I don't know if anyone is taking donations. You should ask Michele (mi...@ss..., CC'd).
