Created attachment 471253 [details] Patch for various ntpd messages. Description of problem: Lots of unmatched entries occur in the XNTPD script output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logwatch-7.3.6-58.fc14.noarch ntp-4.2.6p3-0.1.rc10.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Messages are in all logwatch output after starting up ntpd. Additional info: The attached patch clears up the messages. Most of them are "event status messages" which should be treated as debug and ignored. The interface messages have changed, so a new match for them. Note that logwatch is confused about interface messages in that in one spot it ignores them, and later counts them up for the report. Also, note that this is patch is based on the output from Fedora 14's default configuration, which appears to have not enabled any informational messages.
Created attachment 471304 [details] Minor pdate to previous patch. This patch corrects a couple of other matches to suppress a few other unknown messages.
Applied to Rawhide.
I assume that the following line has been commented out in the patch by accident: # ($ThisLine =~ /Listening on interface .* Enabled/) Is that right? Or, why was it commented out?
It is deliberate. Later on in the script there is another if statement that tests for the same string. From what I can tell that was only used for old versions of ntpd, and I've also modified it a little anyway, as I found a could of old messages.

That should be "couple of old message", and the updated patch I'm referring to will be against the rawhide version when I submit it.
