Logwatch / BFD issues

Hi there

I'm a bit stumped with a logwatch AND/OR BFD issue. I've had a bit of a search but I couldn't really find what I'm looking for, so apologies in advance if this has been covered before!

The daily emails I'm sent via logwatch are filled with entries like the following:

Code:

23:12:01 butters bfd(24039): processing rule file sendmail
23:12:01 butters bfd(24039): processing rule file sshd
23:15:01 butters bfd(24159): processing rule file sendmail

I'm sure it's a simple configuration issue somewhere, but I can't figure it out!

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Look for "$Config{'supress_ignores'} = 0;"

Thanks unSpawn!

I can't see that in my logwatch.pl file. Is that where I should be looking?

Yes it should be. What's the version and where'd you get it from?
