[SSHGuard-users] Enhancement Idea: Add Logging "Verbosity" Command-Line Option?

[Jim S. <jse...@Li...>]

Hi Again,

Doing some experimental coding on sshguard and watching for effects
in real-time, I've run into something of an inconvenience.

I can "tail -f <logfile> |grep yadda-yadda-yadda" to see what's logged
to auth.log, but, if sshguard is watching multiple logs that doesn't
show me all I want to see w/o opening multiple windows and tailing
multiple logfiles.

So I'm thinking:

    . Change the "version" command line switch from "-v" to "-V",
      and...

    . Make "-v" a "verbose" switch to cause sshguard to emit more
      information to wherever it's logging.  Info such as:

      sshguard: Detected: service name: "postfix", service: 260,
       ip addr: 192.168.1.2, ip_type: 4, dangerousness: 10

Maybe make "-v" take a verbosity level argument?

What think y'all?

Regards,
Jim
