[Logcheck-devel] Bug#499323: logcheck-database: Logcheck fails to ignore certain OpenVPN messages

[Stefan Tomanek]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Logcheck fails to ignore certain lines generated by OpenVPN; the attached patch
fixes several regular expressions:

* OpenVPN does not print the full path to ifconfig or route (at least here)
* The interface name can also contain dots and does not always start with "tun"
* The startup messages now gets suppressed as well
