Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.2.52 Severity: normal The first rule in violations.d/smartd tries to parse the SMART value of attribute 194 (temperature) to see if it is below 55.
This behaviour isn't very sensible though - in a default installation of smartmontools on Debian, smartd reports the normalized value for all attributes in the logfile. The relation of normalized values to the raw attribute is vendor-specific, so there is no sensible threshold that logcheck could use (smartd can though, it knows the theshold for failure set by the vendor). In my case this misinterpretation means that I'll get a security violation mail every time my hard drives change their temperature. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.37 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages logcheck-database depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy logcheck-database recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * logcheck-database/rules-directories-note: logcheck-database/standard-rename-note: logcheck-database/conffile-cleanup: false _______________________________________________ Logcheck-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/logcheck-devel
