[Sshguard-users] I can't get it to work.

[Kuroro <inf...@gm...>]

Hi all.

   I installed sshguard on Open suse. by

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-firewall=iptables

make

su - root

make install

i add
iptables -N sshguard
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j sshguard

chmod +s /usr/sbin/sshguard

then i edit

/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf


concatenate

filter sshlogs { facility(authpriv) and match(ssh); };
destination sshguardproc { program("/usr/sbin/sshguard"); };
log { source(src); filter(sshlogs); destination(sshguardproc); };

killall -HUP syslog-ng

ln -s /usr/sbin/ip* /sbin/

then i ssh with the wrong password 3 times and it does sshguard does not
start automatically nor it blocks ip. I started sshguard manually with -a 2
-p 3& and it starts but it does not block ips.

After i tried it on a redhat 3.0 AS test server. with a few variations to
the configuration but again it did not start the sshguard nor it blocked the
ip.

Did i missed anything on the configuration?

Any help is appreciated.
