I'm using an older version than what is on the website now, but
basically, I just edited the ssh scripts to run sshdfilter instead of
sshd (as documented with sshfilter).  Then I had to hack
/etc/cron.hourly/log_traffic so that it stopped whacking my new
firewall rules.

Look for the following section in log_traffic, and add the below changes...
---------------------------
# This file is automatically generated by log_traffic.
# Any manual changes will be lost
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:acctin - [0:0]
:acctout - [0:0]
:SSHD - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j acctin
-A OUTPUT -j acctout
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j SSHD" > $FWCONFIGFILE
---------------------------

The only differences are the 2 lines with SSHD.

I think that is all I did. if it doesn't work for you, let me know and
I'll look further.
