Comment 1 Patrice Le Gurun 2005-03-04 08:42:02 UTC
I also have this comportement on my fc3 box.
The problem with pam_unix/crond entries does not appear on fc2. Maybe
a regexp mispelled ?

Extract of my logwatch mail with fc2 :

Patch for matching pam_unix/crond entries correctly

Previously, logwatch search for pam_unix/crond entries by matching the 'cron'
service. But there entries are using the 'crond' service. So this patch correct
this.

Comment 3 Ivana Varekova 2005-06-27 14:06:27 UTC
Hello, 
could you please try the last logwatch version (logwatch-6.1.2-1), this version
should fix all these problems.

The new version removed a lot of useless output, but there are some issues left
and there are some entries i have never seen before:

Erased packages in yum logs are now correctly matched by logwatch-6.1.2-2

Comment 6 Ivana Varekova 2005-09-19 13:37:24 UTC
Hello, thank you for your notice.
Could you please test the last logwatch (logwatch-6.1.2-4) there should be fixed
"secure" service section. Please attach comment if there is any problem. 
sshd section looks right, XNTPD and Selinux Audit sections was not fixed yet.
 




Comment 7 Ivana Varekova 2005-09-29 11:42:37 UTC
Hello,
there is change in "sshd" section in the last version (logwatch-6.1.2-5). This
change should fix your problem, with this section. 

Comment 8 feily 2005-09-29 12:48:36 UTC
Hello,
with logwatch-6.1.2-5, the line

0.0.0.0 port 22 (Address already in use) : 2 Time(s)

disappeared

Comment 9 Ivana Varekova 2005-09-29 13:24:36 UTC
Hello,
Yes, this line was caused by bug 120302. I thought you report this problem.  
Do you test "secure" service changes?
You report problems in two remaining sections (XNTPD and Selinux Audit sections)
this problems should be still present in logwatch-6.1.2-5 and they should be fixed. 

Comment 10 Ivana Varekova 2005-09-30 09:06:49 UTC
Hello, logwatch-6.1.2-6 version should fixed your problem with logwatch audit
log output. 
The last problem is xntpd section. Could you please attach your message* log
file containing xntpd logs you mentioned.

Comment 11 feily 2005-10-01 15:22:53 UTC
The secure section seems to be ok.
The sshd section looks like this:

xntpd is unchanged, of course.
Thanks for taking the time to fix these problems!

Comment 13 Ivana Varekova 2005-10-03 13:58:22 UTC
Hello, 
the problem with sshd part and Selinux audit part should be fixed in the last
version - logwatch-6.1.2-7. Could you please test this version?
The next problem is fixed in the last upstream version. So this problem will be
fixed when the next stable logwatch version will be released. 
Thanks for your help.

Comment 14 feily 2005-10-07 06:06:47 UTC
Hello,
sshd and Selinux audit looks good in logwatch-6.1.2-7.

Comment 15 Ivana Varekova 2005-10-07 06:48:36 UTC
The last problem - XNTDP will be fixed in the next upstream version. I'm closing
this bug.
If there is any problem feel free to reopen it.
