Logcheck devel - Nov 2005 - Bug#337517: logcheck-database: dovecot login line should have the word "plain" in lowercase not uppercase

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.42
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


I had to change the case of the dovecot login line or it was generating
spurious logchecks. Here is the version after my change:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ dovecot: (imap|pop3)-login: Login:
user=<[.[:alnum:]@-]+>, method=(plain|LOGIN|(CRAM|DIGEST)-MD5),
rip=(::ffff:)?[:.[:digit:]]+, lip=(::ffff:)?[:0-9a-f.]+(, TLS)?$

The above was all on one line of course. I only changed the case of
plain from "PLAIN" to "plain" because I don't use the
other entries.
Possibly they all need to change as well but I don't know dovecot well
enough to know this.

It looks like they released a new version upstream, with yet another  
log format *sigh*. This'll be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for your bug report,
