[Logcheck-devel] Bug#575378: logcheck-database: ignore.d.server/nfs does not allow underscore in mount points

[G. T. Laycock]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.68
Severity: minor

This is also present in the current squeeze/sid version 1.3.7

For weeks I have been slowly driven mad by logcheck continually
reporting innocuous nfs mount/umount events and I could not see why
they were not being removed by the nfs ignore rules.

Finally I spotted the issue: the mount path listed in the log message
contains an underscore, so doesn't quite match the regexp. Attached is
the very simple patch that allows [._[:alnum:]-]* in path elements.
