[Sshguard-users] problem running sshguard

[Sistemisti <sis...@pr...>]

Dear all,
I'm trying to run sshguard on an redhat 6.6, but launching /usr/local/sshguard-1.6.1/sbin/sshguard -l /var/log/secure, I get the following error, and then iptables dies.

iptables v1.4.7: option `-w' requires an argument
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
Could not init firewall. Terminating.

What is going wrong? Thanks

SSHGuard uses the '-w' argument to iptables, however, the '-w' argument
is fairly new and probably not available on your machine. A patch to fix
this problem was committed in the development branch, but has not made
it to a release. I've added this patch to the 1.6.2 release that's
supposed to be coming imminently.

Thanks,
Kevin Zheng
