[Logcheck-devel] Bug#355649: logcheck: ntp 'adjusting local clock' only matches positive corrections

[Robert Edmonds]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.43a
Severity: minor

/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/ntp contains:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ ntpd\[[0-9]+\]: adjusting local clock by [.0-9]+s$

However, this will not match negative corrections such as:

System Events
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Mar  5 01:44:55 billchase ntpd[6171]: adjusting local clock by -0.190112s
Mar  5 01:55:20 billchase ntpd[6171]: adjusting local clock by -0.181540s

Please change this rule to:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ ntpd\[[0-9]+\]: adjust time server [-.0-9]+ offset$
