The most frequent reason for a lot of unmatched entries showing up is that the corresponding logwatch script is out of date wrt the program whose log is being watched. Program maintainers tend to change the wording of messages on a whim, and the logwatch scripts need to be updated to keep up with them. So yes, there is a constant need to update logwatch, specifically its scripts. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany
