I had sshguard configured through rc.conf which effectively puts it into daemon mode. I then reconfigured sshguard and introduced invalid configuration option that made it fail to start. Unfortunately /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshguard is configured to start daemon with -f option, which suppresses any STDOUT messages by sending those to /dev/null. I learned about all of this only after I have removed -f option in sshguard script itself. Suddenly, I was able to read error message from sshguard with statement "Terminating". It now could explain why my service was not listed with ps -x | grep sshguard. Is this issue something that can be requested to be fixed? How do I do that if you think it is worth it. I have noticed the side effect of my change. I had to press Enter to get my prompt back after I issued "service sshguard start".
