sshblock 1.0_1 security =5

Block abusive SSH login attempts
Maintained by: anders@FreeBSD.org

License: not specified in port

SSHBlock is a daemon to monitor a syslog log for break-in attempts using
SSH, and to automatically block bad hosts by adding lines to /etc/hosts.allow
(TCP Wrappers). Several thresholds are pre-defined, to be able to block those
trying many attempts within a longer or shorter period.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

-remove MD5

Begin the process of deprecating sysutils/rc_subr by
s#. %%RC_SUBR%%#. /etc/rc.subr#

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.

1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).

No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.

Fiddle rcorder bits in the startup script, so that sshblock actually
starts on boot.

Add sshblock, a tool to block abusive SSH login attempts.
