OS X Mountain Lion has no /var/log/secure.log for sshguard to read

[essandess (Steve Smith)]

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.
