Runaway tail process. sshguard ?

I'm getting 100+ instances of
Code: 
tail -F -n 0 /var/log/auth.log /var/log/maillog
happening and I'm having to kill the processes because it starts slowing down my system. I'm suspecting sshguard to be the cause of this. Is anyone else experiencing this issue ?
 
Looks like the issue may be that I have an entry in syslog.conf that may be old. Removed from syslog.conf and restarted syslogd and running sshguard just via service now to see if it helps
 
Yeah, they changed that a really long time ago.

Make sure you configured /usr/local/etc/sshguard.conf too. By default all backends are disabled, so it will never block anything if you didn't configure it.

yes thank you. I had that all setup and configured already. Guess I just missed removing it from syslog
