Sorry about this, but I messed this patch up. This message gets tagged
as a sercurity violation, so I put the exclusion in the wrong directory.
It needs to go in a new file .../violations.ignore.d/logcheck-samba.
Please consider this a vote for a single unified ignore directory in a
future version of logcheck, instead of the split
cracking/violations/events structure we currently have.
Until then, you might want to consider changing the labels of the emails
to match the names of the directories, to make it a little more obvious
at least:
# Controls Subject: lines on logcheck reports:
ATTACKSUBJECT="Cracking Alerts"
SECURITYSUBJECT="Security Violations"
EVENTSSUBJECT="System Events"
One more question... why do the files you provide in the
logcheck-database package use the "logcheck-" prefix in the violations
directory, but not in the ignore directory? Consistancy would be good
here, I think.
