+@cindex Endlessh
+@deffn {Scheme Variable} endlessh-service-type
+This is the type for the @uref{https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh,
+Endlessh} program that delays ssh clients for days at a time by
+@emph{very slowly} sending a random and endless SSH banner.  The smart
+hacker will put endlessh running on port 22, and let crackers get stuck
+in this tarpit.  This lets your real ssh server run more securely on a
+non-standard port.
+
+For example:
+
+@lisp
+(service endlessh-service-type
+  (endlessh-configuration
+    (port-number 22)))
+@end lisp
+
+@end deffn
+
+@deftp {Data Type} endlessh-configuration
+Data type representing the configuration for @code{endlessh-service}.
+@table @asis
+@item @code{package} (default: @var{endlessh})
+@code{endlessh} package to use.
+
+@item @code{bind-family} (default: @code{'(ipv4 ipv6)})
+This specifies if endlessh should use ipv4 and/or ipv6.
+
+@item @code{delay} (default: @code{10000})
+The endless banner is sent one line at a time. This is the delay
+in milliseconds between individual lines.
+
+@item @code{length} (default: @code{32})
+The length of each line is randomized. This controls the maximum length
+of each line. Shorter lines may keep clients on for longer if they give
+up after a certain number of bytes.
+
+@item @code{max-clients} (default: @code{4096})
+Maximum number of connections to accept at a time. Connections beyond
+this are not immediately rejected, but will wait in the queue.
+
+@item @code{port-number} (default: @code{2222})
+The port on which to listen for new SSH connections.  Most users who
+want to use endlessh as intended should set this port number to
+@code{22}.
+
+@item @code{log-level} (default: @code{0})
+Set the detail level for the log.
+@table @asis
+@item  0 = Quiet
+@item  1 = Standard, useful log messages
+@item  2 = Very noisy debugging information
+@end table
+
+@item @code{syslog} (default: @code{#f})
+Print diagnostics to syslog instead of standard output
