Three new LogWatch Patches
I released three new patches to the LogWatch mailing list this morning.
Firstly, the amavis script when running at high detail now reports the from address of the virus sender. This allows someone running amavis to turn off the administrator notifies for each individual virus but still make sure no local users have been infected. I’ve included both a patch against the last version and the complete script. The complete script may be easier for Kirk to work with because the original version doesn’t seem to have made it into CVS yet.
The in.qpopper patch is against the in.qpopper script included with LogWatch 4.3.2. This patch suppresses a few more log messages, and reports on failed logins.
The sendmail patch is also against LogWatch 4.3.2. It includes Mark Smith’s patch from May 2003, and repeats my patch from 25/3/03 (which also doesn’t seem to have made it into CVS). I haven’t explicitly included Michael Stovenour’s patch to set $Detail, as this was also done in my earlier patch. In addition to bundling these earlier patches together into one patch this also suppresses a few log messages and reports on oversized messages. If you apply this patch to what’s currently in 4.3.2, your LogWatch should then include all patches posted to the mailing list since 4.3.2 was released.
