ok thanks for the clarification.
you hadn't answer previous mail by todd,
so i had thought that the new '-l' switch already does enough.
the 10 file argument has weight.

the next enhancement planed enhancement for logcheck is macros
in the logcheck-database, so why not there too.
i'll leave it open. anyway it's postsarge.

please do not hesitate to file bug reports for messages that
logcheck should ignore, if you have rules for them even better.
thanks
