#36296: OS X Mountain Lion has no /var/log/secure.log for sshguard to read
-------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: s.t.smith@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2
Keywords: | Port: sshguard
-------------------------+--------------------------------
For some reason, Apple has rolled up a lot of logging into syslog,
including all the ssh stuff. Consequently, there is no /var/log/secure.log
for sshguard to read. The current sshguard defaults results in logs that
look like:
Sep 23 03:39:01 foo com.apple.launchd[1] (org.macports.sshguard):
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Sep 23 03:39:11 foo.bar.com sshguard[64933]: File '/var/log/secure.log'
vanished while adding!
Sep 23 03:39:11 foo com.apple.launchd[1] (org.macports.sshguard):
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Sep 23 03:39:21 foo.bar.com sshguard[65369]: File '/var/log/secure.log'
vanished while adding!
The fix is to remove the line '-l /var/log/secure.log' from
/opt/local/etc/sshguard/options, but I'm not sure if looking only at
/var/log/system.log will capture all the stuff sshguard needs for
filtering.
