Description Robert Scheck 2013-01-10 19:06:19 EST

Description of problem:
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/secure:212 is currently:

  ( $ThisLine =~ /password check failed for user \([a-zA-Z]*\)/) or

Unfortunately this does not match our (system) users, which are "customer_01"
or "example_02" (of course without the "").

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
logwatch-7.3.6-50.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above and below.
  
Actual results:
Logwatch doesn't proper ignore "password check failed for user"

Expected results:
From my point of view, a proper fix for this could be:

  ( $ThisLine =~ /password check failed for user \(\S*\)/) or
