Greetings,
SSHGuard 1.6.4 is just around the corner, bringing these changes:
- Match Postfix pre-authentication disconnects
- Fix bashisms in iptables backend
- Fix size argument in inet_ntop() call
- Remove excessive logging when polling from files
- Keep looking for unreadable files while polling
- Update Dovecot signature for POP3
- Match "Connection reset" message for SSH
- Resurrect PID file option by popular demand
- Adjust default abuse threshold
Most notably, some default options have changed. The abuse threshold has
been reduced to 30 (3 attacks) and the initial block time has been
lowered to 2 minutes (from 7). These settings can be overridden from the
command line. Package maintainers should check their scripts.
The PID file option (-p) has been resurrected.
If no major issues come up, the 1.6.4 tarball will be released in the
coming week. You can test-drive this release by cloning from the
'master' branch in the Bitbucket repository.
Cheers,
Kevin
