Package: logcheck Version: 1.3.20 Severity: wishlist After updating system from stretch to buster the log lines relating to the failed login are no longer detected as security. Trying to start logcheck on a previous log file the result is correct, so it may be that the problem is in formatting messages. logcheck is configured to send report by local mail. I made some 'extra' test from command line on the single file (auth.log) but the result is the same as in the case scheduled by the system:
