Package: sshguard Version: 1.5-3 Severity: important
According to the man page, the default parameter for -a is 40, but in the /etc/default/sshguard shipped with Debian it is set to 4. That looks like a typo, as the other values there are in fact the default values. Moreover a value of 4 means every IP gets blocked after one perceived attack (an attack is worth 10 'dangerousness' points), making the default install not useful in any practical setting.
