Package: logwatch
Version: 7.3.6.cvs20080702-2
Severity: important
setting hostlimit=yes has no effect, for two reasons
1) The documentations and comments in the config file says to set hostlimit =
yes, but in actuality, you have to set it to the hostname
2) Even if you do this, a bug in the code that handles the nohostlimit override
allways nulls out the LOGWATCH_HOST_LIMIT environment variable.
in logwatch.pl around line 890 you have
#Hostlimit filter need to add ability to negate this use "NoHostFilter =
Yes" in logfile like samba -mgt
if ( ($Config{'hostlimit'}) && (!$LogFileData{$LogFile}{'nohostfilter'}) ) {
#Pass the list to ENV with out touching it
$ENV{'LOGWATCH_ONLY_HOSTNAME'} = $Config{'nohostlimit'};
$FilterText .= ("| $PerlVersion $BaseDir/scripts/shared/onlyhost");
}
so, if (hostlimit and ! nohostlimit), clobber LOGWATCH_ONLY_HOSTNAME and add
the filter to the chain
it should be
if(hostlimit)
if( nohostlimit )
clobber env
else
add filter
end if nohostlimit
end if hostlimit
