Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2010:0033 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE logwatch bug fix and enhancement update 2010-01-13 12:19:21 UTC

Description Jan Iven 2008-10-02 07:19:27 UTC
Description of problem:

On a busy APT mirror, logwatch's "http" service parser will emit warnings for the metadata ".hdr" files, even if Detail=Low:
 
A total of 27814 unidentified 'other' records logged
[..]
  HEAD /scientific/45/i386/apt/RPMS.os/headers/postgresql-python-0-7.4.17-1.RHEL4.1.i386.hdr HTTP/1.1 with response code(s) 200 1 responses
[..]

adding "\.hdr" to $archive_types makes it shut up.

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

RHEL4: logwatch-5.2.2-4.el4
RHEL5: logwatch-7.3-6.el5.noarch

How reproducible:
(always)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. serve these files via http
2. look at logwatch summary report
