rc.d script suppression of messages in sshguard

[Sergei G]

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".
