similar to: [patch] logtail recheck permissions of offset files

Hi gang, While writing a script that uses logtail, I noticed that logtail assumes nothing interesting happened between its last invocation and the rotation, which means that exciting bits of data could be lost. This seems a bit dodgy (correct me if I'm wrong about how it works!) so I made a dodgy patch to logtail that checks for the existence of $logfile.0, which on Debian seems to always be

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.41 Problem: Logcheck try to detect if log file have been rotate or not by file size way. Possible attack: - current log file (sizeA) - run logcheck, (logcheck/logtail put inode in offsetfile), offset=sizeA - [attacker run attack 1] - run logrotate - [attacker run attack 2] - run logcheck may don't detect the rotation and don't check the log for attack 1

Package: logtail Version: 1.2.33 Severity: normal Hi... Logtail should not output error messages to standard output, since this violates the principle of least surprise. In particular, my application was broken by the semantics of logtail changing in version 1.2.21 (when you added switches for the default arguments to logtail). I think this was a bad move -- you broke an interface used by

Package: logtail Version: 1.2.52 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, When a logfile is rotated, logtail misses the lines logged between the last logtail run and the logfile rotation. The attached patch allows to set an alternate logfile that logtail tries to use as the old logfile if the inode has changed. It can be used as: logtail -f /var/log/syslog -a /var/log/syslog.1 (Please note that this

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.58.0 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The attached patch is the diff from current svn trunk to my svn branch zugschlus200707. It introduces a new binary package logtail2 with a new binary logtail2 which enhances logtail substantially. logtail2 can process rotated logs internally, which makes the code inside logcheck and other programs that use logtail2 easier to

logtail is a great program but it is incomplete. Currently it has no iead about log rolls which is normally done by renaming files from log to log.1 then log.2 etc... logtail should on seeing a different inode, try to determine if the log was just rolled as normal, and output the remainer of that rolled file, before outputing the other files down the chain to the current logfile. Of course

hello everyone, thanks to todd 1.2.21 is out :) every release getting better, i would like to get consensus on these "important" bugs: #252078 logtail: should depend on perl >= 5.8 sarge as any other modern linux distro use perl 5.8.x, it's even inside of its base. backports are under the peril of its author if no one voices up, i'll close that bug in the next days.

Hey team, I'll be at sea on and off this week, and as such my Internet access will depend on wifi availability while in port. 22a seems stable, but if any critical problems arise, feel free to prepare a release and bug Alfie to upload it. On the brighter side, I expect to be extremely bored while offline so I'll probably get some logcheck work done. <: Cheers, -- [ Todd J.

Package: logcheck wanted to work on #195935, but found a less than funny issue, easy to reproduce: * remove some lines in front of your logfile * invoke logcheck you'll get a big email with all not matching lines from that log. not setting that to high priority because you are getting also the newer loglines. don't know if i find time that weekend. wanted to document it anyways. a++
