Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.62 Severity: wishlist Yeah, I know, I'm the only person left who's foolish enough to run telnetd. <g> But just in case there's someone else out there, here are two rules to weed out the boring stuff:
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in\.telnetd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: connect from [._[:alnum:]-]+ \([:[:xdigit:].]+\)$ ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ telnetd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: ttloop: peer died: EOF$ (Actually, I use telnetd-ssl, but their log messages appear identical.) The second rule occurs whenever someone connects and hangs up afterwards, which people apparently love to do. (Maybe they're confused by the attempt at a SSL handshake.) BTW, a similar version of that second rule appears in ignore.d.paranoid. It shouldn't match anything anymore if my look at telnetd's source is correct, and I'm kind of puzzled as to what it's doing there in the first place. Just thought you might want to know. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages logcheck depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii cron 3.0pl1-100 management of regular background p ii lockfile-progs 0.1.11 Programs for locking and unlocking ii logtail 1.2.62 Print log file lines that have not ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20070424cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii postfix [mail-tr 2.4.5-4 High-performance mail transport ag ii sysklogd [system 1.5-1 System Logging Daemon Versions of packages logcheck recommends: ii logcheck-database 1.2.62 database of system log rules for t -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
