From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Logwatch reports routine access to mailman listinfo and archive pages as "unidentified 'other' records" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logwatch-5.2.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Standard RHEL 4 installation with mailman. 2. Access various pages under http://www.myserver.com/pipermail or http://www.myserver.com/mailman. 3. Wait for next day's logwatch report. Actual Results: Lots of "unidentified 'other' records" in httpd section of logwatch report, all "GET /pipermail/..." or "GET /mailman/..." with code 200 responses. Expected Results: The code 200 responses are normal accesses and should be filtered out by logwatch. Additional info:
Created attachment 118292 [details] Proposed patch. This problem is fixed in the attached patch. Logwatch should ignore most of mailx and pipermail log messages, but logwatch should not ignore (not only mailman and pipermail) log messages with error response codes >400 (see upstream version). The attached patch fixes this problem too.
logwatch seems to report all files without suffix. Mailman uses cgi files without suffixes. Chances are, the patch attached is good enough.
Created attachment 118387 [details] suppress the file list of no suffixes.
