Hi Helge. Apologies no-one has replied to this bug report for 2 years and that this response isnt going to be what you want! The rules for rsyslog are actually provided by rsyslog not logcheck-database so this bug should be against rsyslog -- however, im not sure rsyslog produces those messages about HUP any more so maybe it should be closed rather than reassigned? I do see the one about the unix socket but a) i wonder if that's a bug rather that should be hidden? b) I also think i only see it "startup" (ie only produced when the system boots / service starts): debian usually doesnt add rules to filter startup messages as it tends to add a lot of rules (apologies if i am wrong on this - i dont usually have rsyslog installed, but ve been running it in a container for testing some upcoming changes to logcheck and i don't see either of the messages above despite running for several days).
