[Logcheck-devel] Bug#661912: logcheck: files with period in ignore rule dirs ignored

[nils]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.14
Severity: normal

I added a local.rules file to ignore.d.server and then ran logcheck. The file was not used during the run.

Renaming it to local-rules got the file used during the next run.

Fix: periods should be allowed in filenames, or the fact that they are forbidden expressly documented inteh logcheck README.

Thanks
Nils
