[Logcheck-devel] Bug#622942: ifaces can have hyphens (br-dmz).

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.3.13
Severity: minor
File: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/dhclient

I have an interface br-dmz, configured via DHCP and to which KVM VMs
attach.  Currently this rule (I think)

    ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ dhclient(-2.2.x)?: DHCP(REQUEST|RELEASE) (of [.0-9]{7,15} )?on [[:alnum:].]+ to [.0-9]{7,15} port 67$

is not matching because [[:alnum:].]+ should be [[:alnum:].-]+

See also #608256.

You can test this yourself by editing /etc/udev/rules.d/*persist*net*
and renaming your interface to "foo-bar", then restarting.  Use the
same process to rename it back to "eth0" or whatever you want.
