Logcheck devel - Dec 2008 - Bug#508335: logcheck-database: xdm rules don't match

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.68
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi, the current xdm ignore rules read:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+[[:space:]]+: \(pam_[[:alnum:]]+\) session
opened for user [[:alnum:]-]+ by \(uid=[0-9]+\)$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+[[:space:]]+: \(pam_[[:alnum:]]+\) session
closed for user [[:alnum:]-]+$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ xdm: :0\[[0-9]+\]:
pam_[[:alnum:]]+\(xdm:session\): session opened for user [[:alnum:]-]+ by
\(uid=[0-9]+\)$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ xdm: :0\[[0-9]+\]:
pam_[[:alnum:]]+\(xdm:session\): session closed for user [[:alnum:]-]+$

Of these, the first two haven't got anything to do with xdm and should be
removed.

The last two on the other hand never matches, as current log lines are formatted
like:

Dec  9 10:21:28 tac xdm[6130]: pam_unix(xdm:session): session opened for user
wferi by wferi(uid=0)
Dec  9 19:09:20 tac xdm[6130]: pam_unix(xdm:session): session closed for user
wferi

So I recommend replacing the xdm rules with:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ xdm\[[0-9]+\]:
pam_[[:alnum:]]+\(xdm:session\): session opened for user [[:alnum:]-]+ by
[[:alnum:]-]+\(uid=[0-9]+\)$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ xdm\[[0-9]+\]:
pam_[[:alnum:]]+\(xdm:session\): session closed for user [[:alnum:]-]+$

Thanks,
Feri.

I think they still apply to etch's old libpam, so I'm reluctant to
remove them at the moment.

Thanks.  I had already applied a similar fix before seeing this bug
report, so I'll add a closing statement in the changelog.
