[Logcheck-devel] Bug#295254: logcheck: ignore.d.server pattern for 'Timeout' missing

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.34
Severity: normal

there is no pattern for 'Timeout' message without additional
information. the following message should be ignored to:

Feb 14 17:23:15 web1 pure-ftpd: (www-0021-02 at 217.186.212.38) [INFO]
Timeout

the two lines regarding 'Timeout' do not match:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ pure-ftpd:
\([._[:alnum:]-]+@[._[:alnum:]-]+\) \[INFO\] Timeout - try typing a
little faster next
time$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ pure-ftpd:
\([._[:alnum:]-]+@[._[:alnum:]-]+\) \[INFO\] Timeout \(no new data for
[0-9]+ seconds\)$


btw: isn't it better to provide ONE rule to ignore every message
with '[INFO]'?
