Credits:
- thanks to all users who contributed testing, code, documentation, or support on the project's mailing lists over the years
- we use SourceForge for hosting our code. Recently SF showed major performance improvements and streamlined interfaces; thanks for supporting Open Source for this long and to this extent.
- we use BuddyNS as secondary DNS for running domains sshguard.net and sshguard.org. By far the best secondary DNS service around.
- the OpenCSW provides us with Solaris systems for verifying and maintaining compatibility with the Solaris environment.
