Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.3.15 Severity: normal Tags: patch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
[Apologies if this is a dup; I submitted yesterday but got no conf. and don't see it at the online tracker.] Configured in server mode, logcheck does not ignore messages such as these - Dec 15 06:40:14 bb dhclient: parse_option_buffer: malformed option dhcp.smtp-server (code 69): option length exceeds option buffer length. Dec 15 10:35:39 bb dhclient: parse_option_buffer: malformed option dhcp.<unknown> (code 111): option length exceeds option buffer length. There is a rule in ignore.server.d/dhclient which apparently is intended to catch similar messages. My guess is that dhclient has updated its text and logcheck didn't follow. The result can be notifications when nothing truly relevant has happened. This patch ignores the new error text as well as leaving the old match. *** dhclient.diff *** /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/dhclient.orig Sun Dec 15 13:53:55 2013 - --- /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/dhclient Sun Dec 15 08:13:41 2013 *************** *** 24,26 **** - --- 24,27 ---- ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ dhclient(-2.2.x)?: Sleeping\.$ # 3.0 ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ dhclient: parse_option_buffer: option [-[:alnum:]]+ \([[:digit:]]+\) larger than buffer\.$ + ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ dhclient: parse_option_buffer: malformed option dhcp\.[-[:alnum:]<>]+ \(code [[:digit:]]+\): option length exceeds option buffer length\.$ - -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash - -- Configuration Files: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/dhclient changed [not included] - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlKu+48ACgkQnN+41NpzKveJPACggiY0mpyfZmVYcF22cNiBnBl9 CH4AnRaqw78hQMuY7lD73vwKtb4bjHWg =pEX4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
