Hi,

This revision adds support for specifying configuration through an
environment variable, as right now configuration path is hardcoded,
making it unusable.

Hi Artyom,

Thanks for updating it to 2.5.1.

Running it atm yields:

=============================================================================
% /gnu/store/xna4knzy4a4qw0hfna292p89ybvzbrxy-sshguard-2.5.1/sbin/sshguard
sshguard: Could not read '/gnu/store/xna4knzy4a4qw0hfna292p89ybvzbrxy-sshguard-2.5.1/etc/sshguard.conf'
sshguard: Please configure SSHGuard.
=============================================================================

AFAICT, it's fairly useless as the check can not be bypassed. If you're running it in a different way, please share.

I've a patch that I'm using it while waiting for this patch to be committed. I've rebased it on top of your commit.

Thanks!
Ashish
