Correction, this is actually 8 times *per second*. This really needs to be
fixed with urgency.
I've attached a patch that suppresses the log entries, please apply it and also
forward it upstream.
But it seems that sshguard is indeed doing something else 8 times a second that
generates these entries too. I'm not sure if that's another bug; upstream will
be able to judge this better.
