Can't logcheck just go back to using run-parts?
Some sites depend on rules with periods, and that's what brought on this change. A user was confused when a file named like.so was not read. I'm inclined to believe that leaving scraps in the etc tree is sloppy administration, and the .disabled stuff is a horrid kluge. It seems that there are a bunch of users depending on the old functionality, so I'm going to support run-parts anyway. It will also need to be documented that rule file names can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. -- Todd Troxell http://rapidpacket.com/~xtat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
