Now I am getting a trigger. I don't know why I didn't get one the other
time I mimicked your echo then pipe. 

I think the ultimate test would be to create a new user, then a key
that I won't put on the server, then try logging into the server. I'll
do the test from public wifi so I don't lock myself out. Howerver, what
do I do to prevent sshguard from permanently blocking IP addresses. My
ipfw list is over 3000 hits. I was thinking of flushing it, but I don't
know if sshguard maintains a database of hits or just checks table 22.
