David,

Please consider the following:

[2] I did not mean you should do a 'chkconfig sshdfilter on', what I was trying
to point out is that every SysV Inintscript must have a "chkconfig:" line in
its header. That header line, which is missing in sshdfilter, tells chkconfig
what runlevels are apropriated to running the script, and in what order the
script will be started or killed on those runlevels. 

[1] & [3] Dealing with unresponsive upstream is a real issue for packagers. If
sshdfilter's upstream has left the project behind, and you are really willing
to get this software into Fedora, so I encourage you to fork it in another
project. However, you can not modify the source package shipped by upstream
before shipping it within you SRPM and consider it as a fork. The source inside
a SRPM must always match its upstream's download.  


I don't think you should give up sshdfilter. It may sound cliché, but with no
pain, no gain! Keep working on it because your goal, right now, should be
getting this work reviewed and you sponsored to the packagers group. I don't
have the power to sponsor you, but I can help reviewing your work and pointing
the right way to you get it into Fedora. Also, you can count on me to help with
any other matter regarded to this package. Feel free to contact me whenever you
want.

Regards.
