            Bug ID: 204663
           Summary: security/sshguard-ipfw: r399172 (update to 1.6.2)
                    makes sshguard a no-op
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: feld@FreeBSD.org

The update to 1.6.2 silently turns users' sshguard-ipfw configurations into
no-ops, since the ipfw code in 1.6.2 doesn't actually install any firewall
rules any more.  This needs to be fixed in the rc script as this is a massive
POLA violation.  Many users will have upgraded using "pkg upgrade" and will be
totally unaware that sshguard is no longer protecting them.
