Description FX 2007-01-11 08:24:50 UTC
Description of problem:
In the SSHD section, it appears that logwatch doesn't know how to deal with
messages due to the AllowUsers option of the OpenSSH server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
logwatch-7.2.1-1.fc5 and openssh-server-4.3p2-4.11.fc5

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on the AllowUsers option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to only allow a few
selected users to log on the computer
2. Wait and see some bot trying random usernames on your server (or actually try
yourself to connect using an existing but not allowed login)
3. Read the logwatch output:

 --------------------- SSHD Begin ------------------------ 

 Illegal users from:
    62.73.33.7: 1270 times
    210.163.171.99: 1830 times
 
 Received disconnect:
    11: Bye Bye : 3100 Time(s)
