Public bug reported:

When my system mounts a bunch of drives at once over cifs (as it does
every time I boot it) a message is generated in auth.log like this:

Oct  1 07:51:49 myservername smbd: message repeated 2 times: [
pam_unix(samba:session): session opened for user myusername by (uid=0)]

When logwatch picks this up, it appends the close-square-bracket from
the message to the user name, so the email I get from logwatch has this
in it:

myusername]: 2 Time(s)

instead of including these entries under the un-appended version of my
user name.

So basically I get two entries every day, one for myusername, and one
for myusername].

Big deal? No. But it's annoying, and should be a trivial fix.
