Use this quick workaround: sudo sed -i "s/SYSLOG_FACILITY=4 SYSLOG_FACILITY=10/-t sshd/" /etc/sshguard/sshguard.conf sudo systemctl restart sshguard
Can add more services (-t <service>) as needed. Note: SSHGuard can parse the following services (see src/common/attack.h): enum service { SERVICES_ALL = 0, //< anything SERVICES_SSH = 100, //< ssh SERVICES_SSHGUARD = 110, //< SSHGuard SERVICES_UWIMAP = 200, //< UWimap for imap and pop daemon SERVICES_DOVECOT = 210, //< dovecot SERVICES_CYRUSIMAP = 220, //< cyrus-imap SERVICES_CUCIPOP = 230, //< cucipop SERVICES_EXIM = 240, //< exim SERVICES_SENDMAIL = 250, //< sendmail SERVICES_POSTFIX = 260, //< postfix SERVICES_OPENSMTPD = 270, //< OpenSMTPD SERVICES_COURIER = 280, //< Courier IMAP/POP SERVICES_FREEBSDFTPD = 300, //< ftpd shipped with FreeBSD SERVICES_PROFTPD = 310, //< ProFTPd SERVICES_PUREFTPD = 320, //< Pure-FTPd SERVICES_VSFTPD = 330, //< vsftpd SERVICES_COCKPIT = 340, //< cockpit management dashboard SERVICES_CLF_UNAUTH = 350, //< HTTP 401 in common log format SERVICES_CLF_PROBES = 360, //< probes for common web services SERVICES_CLF_LOGIN_URL = 370, //< CMS framework logins in common log format SERVICES_OPENVPN = 400, //< OpenVPN SERVICES_OPENVPN_PS = 410, //< OpenVPN Portshare SERVICES_GITEA = 500, //< Gitea }; A quick look at the source reveals that SSHGuard has a parser for its own logs, which seems to be to support remote sshguard logging scenario. There does not seem to be a way to configure SSHGuard actions per- service, and it is always logging using LOG_AUTH facility (4). Which means SYSLOG_FACILITY=4 can never be used as a filter currently, the only solution is to filter the logs *before* they reach SSHGuard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881459 Title: sshguard triggers on its own log messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sshguard/+bug/1881459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
