Logcheck devel - Mar 2008 - Bug#470929: dhcp: interface names can have dash in them

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal

I recently created a bridge with the name xen-local. The DHCP server gets
requests
via this bridge.
I got spammed with logcheck messages about DHCPREQUESTS and the lot because the
name
of the interface in the logcheck-database does not match on names with a dash in
it.

This should be a trivial patch. It would rock if you could prepare
it, even better if directly against the Git repository. Instructions
are here: http://logcheck.org/git.html and if you have any
questions, I'd be happy to answer them via the
logcheck-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org mailing list, or on
#logcheck/irc.debian.org.

I've adjusted all the "via" patterns, which seems to be enough (I
hope).
