This is a bug in pure-ftpd that will (hopefully) be fixed in future versions. Therefore I don't see a reason for changing the rules to account for this, until it's fixed you can add a local rule to match this. Since this appears to be a pure-ftpd bug, I'm reassigning this to pure-ftpd. > those behaviours lead to a previous question: why not providing a single > pattern which matches [INFO] and [NOTICE]. it's a pain for you the > maintainer(s) an the users to report every single exeption. what if > pure-ftpd changes it's behaviour in the next release? we have to start > over and over again to keep the patterns at a usable state. The reason that we don't use a generic [INFO].* rule is that using .* to match everything means that logcheck consumes greater resources when matching against log messages. If you find further problems with any rules, submit them to the BTS.
