In english ifconfig shows for example : eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:0C:20:8A inet addr:10.0.0.10 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 In french the same is : eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:0C:20:8A inet adr:10.0.0.10 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Masque:255.255.255.0 Notice 'adr:' in english versus 'addr:' in french. It seems that guarddog incorrectly parse this line using en english pattern. temporary workaround, run: LANGUAGE=C guarddog but the parsing should not depend on the language environnment used. This is a SECURITY ISSUE.
