SSHguard misses common attack patterns on OS X - patch available

[chrisjcameron]

The linked message contains a patch for SSH Guard so it can recognize the "via IP-address" part of the authentication error messages on Mac OS X. Without this patch, SSHGuard misses most attacks targeting my system (2-3 per second). I am not sure if it is appropriate to include the patch in homebrew yet but it is a month old at this point and would make SSHGuard much more useful on Mac OS X systems.

The message thread explains the patterns missed in detail:

Looks like this was added to the formula.
