[Logcheck-devel] Bug#444100: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/telnetd: "connect from $X" and "ttloop: peer died: EOF"

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.62
Severity: wishlist

Yeah, I know, I'm the only person left who's foolish enough to run
telnetd.  <g>  But just in case there's someone else out there, here are
two rules to weed out the boring stuff:

  ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in\.telnetd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: connect from [._[:alnum:]-]+ \([:[:xdigit:].]+\)$
  ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ telnetd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: ttloop: peer died: EOF$


(Actually, I use telnetd-ssl, but their log messages appear identical.)

The second rule occurs whenever someone connects and hangs up
afterwards, which people apparently love to do.  (Maybe they're confused
by the attempt at a SSL handshake.)

BTW, a similar version of that second rule appears in ignore.d.paranoid.
It shouldn't match anything anymore if my look at telnetd's source is
correct, and I'm kind of puzzled as to what it's doing there in the
first place.  Just thought you might want to know.
