[Logcheck-devel] Bug#444470: /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/logcheck-ssh: Updated "authentication failure" rule

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.62
Severity: normal
File: /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/logcheck-ssh

Here's an updated version of the ssh/pam_unix "authentication failure"
rule:

  ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ sshd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: pam_unix\(ssh:[[:alnum:]]+\): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=[^[:space:]]+([[:space:]]+user=[^[:space:]]+)?$


This reflects the change that occurred in pam_unix in September 2005,
where the logging went from "(pam_unix)" to "pam_unix(ssh:auth)".  This
was already done in the second auth.fail rule, but not in the first,
hence this report.
