Subject: bug#358: sshguard does not work without systemd in beowulf

Package: sshguard
Version: 2.3.1-1
Tags: beowulf
Severity: grave

The version of sshguard shipped by Debian Buster makes the assumption
that systemd is running. The init script is unable to start the
service, since the LOGFILE variable is ignored and some of the helper
scripts (like /usr/lib/sshguard/firewall) have been removed. Sorry but
I haven't had time to put up a patch :\

KatolaZ,

Hi, I have just picked this up.

I don't use sshguard myself, however trying it in a VM, the following gets it to
start from the initscript, at least.

In /etc/sshguard/sshguard.conf add

# Space-separated list of log files to monitor. (optional, no default)
#FILES="/var/log/auth.log"

Are you able to test if that is sufficient for a fix?

Thanks

Mark
