Description Flags
patch to backport logwatch's dovecot script and conf files from FC9 dev. to RHEL 5
none
patch to make logwatch 7.3.6's dovecot script recognize Dovecot startup with version number none

Description Gilles Detillieux 2007-12-13 20:09:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
The default.conf and script files for service/dovecot in logwatch-7.3 haven't
been updated to support the log entries generated by dovecot 1.0, which is the
IMAP/POP server included in RHEL 5.  As a result, logwatch summaries don't show
any IMAP/POP traffic, ignoring all of dovecot's log entries.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.3-5


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up and start dovecot service on RHEL 5.
2. Login to service using POP or IMAP.
3. logwatch --range All --service dovecot --detail 10 --print
  
Actual results:
Nothing.


Expected results:
Summary of Dovecot IMAP and POP3 connections.


Additional info:
This problem is fixed (mostly) in logwatch-7.3.6 in Fedora 9 development.  The
fix for RHEL 5 would be either to upgrade entirely to logwatch 7.3.6, or to
backport the script and conf file changes for dovecot.

patch to make logwatch 7.3.6's dovecot script recognize Dovecot startup with version number

This small additional patch is needed to get logwatch, even with the dovecot
fixes from 7.3.6, to recognize the "Dovecot starting up" log entries which now
include a version number.
