[Logcheck-devel] Bug#518422: logcheck-database: (dhcp rules) interface names can have underscore in them

[Martin Maney]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal

This is Yet Another Character In An Interface Name Not Accepted By The DHCP
Ignore Ruleset.  The culprit in this case was br_lan, and the fix I've
applied recreated that suggested in bug #470929 (I might have saved myself a
few minutes if I'd thought to search the bug database sooner).  I, too,
modified the interface-name regex following "via ", adding '_' to the '.'
already present in the character class.  Might I suggest that this game of
whack-a-mole might drag out for quite a long while like this, and that the
obviously correct fix is to make the pattern accept all legal interface
names?  Not that I have been able to figure out what the definition for that
might be.  ;-(

Thanks!
