: several firewall backends.

: Sshguard can read log messages from standard input or monitor one or more log
: files. Log messages are parsed, line-by-line, for recognized patterns. If an
: attack, such as several login failures within a few seconds, is detected, the
: offending IP is blocked. Offenders are unblocked after a set interval, but can
: be semi-permanently banned using the blacklist option.
