Some scripts check $IngoreUnmatched variable.
First, this is a typo (it should be $IgnoreUnmatched).
[ok, it could be Ingore or Whatever, but let's be consistent]
Second problem is some of them do not initialize this variable.
Here is a list of scripts with a typo:
mallorn:/usr/share/logwatch# grep -r IngoreUnmatched .
./scripts/services/afpd:if (($#OtherList >= 0) and (not $IngoreUnmatched)) {
./scripts/services/pureftpd:if (($#OtherList >= 0) and (not $IngoreUnmatched)){
./scripts/services/vsftpd:if (($#OtherList >= 0) and (not $IngoreUnmatched)){
If you do grep for IgnoreUnmatched you'll allso see that some scripts
do not set $IgnoreUnmatched variable. Namely, they are:
./scripts/services/afpd
./scripts/services/pureftpd
./scripts/services/vsftpd
./scripts/services/qmail
./scripts/services/vpopmail
A correct way of initializing it can be found for example in
./scripts/services/proftpd-messages:
$IgnoreUnmatched = $ENV{'ftpd_ignore_unmatched'};
This also means that a documentation and an example should be added to
/etc/logwatch/ file, like it is for
/etc/logwatch/conf/services/proftpd-messages.conf:
# Set this to 1 if you want to ignore unmatched FTP messages...
$ftpd_ignore_unmatched = 0
