Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: wishlist
Hi there,
I was just curious what the point of this rule was. No 'admin' account is
installed on Debian systems, but frequently sites use an account named
something like this for, unsurprisingly, admin purposes. This rule
means that every time the admin user does anything, it gets reported.
Is this actually helpful? It just seems to add noise without signal to
my logcheck emails.
Thanks for considering,
