But it doesn't seem to be working at all: it's not filtering any entries out on my system. I've tested using log messages from a few daemons with /usr/bin/logcheck-test, and the ignore rules are matching correctly, but a run of logcheck then spews out all those log messages without filtering any out. Here's what I think is happening: logcheck uses /usr/bin/run-parts to pick up the filter rule files from subdirectories of /etc/logcheck. run-parts looks for executables, and runs them. But that's not what logcheck wants it to do - logcheck wants it to spit out the names of matching files, not actually execute them. The Debian version of run-parts has a --list parameter, which does exactly this. When the logcheck package has been ported across to Fedora, the --list parameter has been removed from the invocation of run-parts (because our version of run-parts doesn't have that parameter), but that simply results in run-parts producing no output. Which means that logcheck thinks it has no filter rule files. Which means no log messages ever get filtered out. I'm surprised that this is the case, because the package should never have been pushed to stable with such a fundamental bug in it. But I'm fairly sure that's what's going on (on my system, at least - Fedora 13 with logcheck-1.3.13-2.fc13.noarch and crontabs-1.10-32.fc13.noarch). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
