Hello;

I am a little confused. I have a config with a total of 80 rules, they all seem 
to load well, according to the output generated when I start sec.  
There is a catch-all config at the end, and so far it seems to be the *only 
one* that actually reports anything at all.  
The catch-all is as follows, I downloaded this from 
http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net/rulesets/cisco-syslog.sec

# ----- process events that have not been matched by any of above rules -----

# Default match
# this rule will match anything not previously matched but allows only
# one notification per day for each new event class seen
#
type=singleWithSuppress
ptype=regexp
pattern=(%.*?:)
desc=$1
action=pipe '$0' /bin/mailx -s 'cisco event' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
window=86400

On the top of the config, about the second rule, I have the following:

type=single
desc=Illegal User Attempt
ptype=RegExp
pattern=\S+\s+\d+\s+\S+\s+([\w\.\-]+)\s+.+(No account present for user for 
illegal user)
action=pipe '$0' /bin/mailx -s "***ALERT*** $1 SSH Illegal User" [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]


I am testing my config by running a second instance of sec, with standard in as 
well as a file, as input.  Neither one triggers an alert and my output in my 
log is as follows:

Mar 10 11:41:38 myhost/myhost sshd[28961]: [ID 800047 auth.error]
error: PAM: No account present for user for illegal user user1 from
host111

Mar 10 11:41:40 myhostmyhost sshd[28961]: [ID 800047 auth.error]
error: PAM: No account present for user for illegal user user1 from
host111

Mar 10 11:41:42 myhost/myhost sshd[28961]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: PAM: No
account present for user for illegal user user1 from host111


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

.vp

Risto;

Many, many thanks.  Those are all very excellent docs and will certainly answer 
many of my questions.
