[Logcheck-devel] Bug#437753: logcheck-database: proftpd ignore rule does not match when rhost is IPv6

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal

It would appear that proftpd is now logging IP addresses in IPv6 form,
even the v4 ones.  I got a bunch of these last week:

  Aug  7 04:00:11 goretex proftpd: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=::ffff:58.60.237.66 user=mysql


Simply adding a ":" to the rhost character class did the trick for me.
