>Description:
As dmesg prints out the system message buffer, which seems to be cyclic on
a byte boundary, the first line of dmesg.today / yesterday are some times fragments
of a line. Thus the diff done by check_diff in the periodic security report shows
undesired unmatched fragments.
>How-To-Repeat:
Trivial.
>Fix:
My suggestion is to add a "tail +2" in 700.kernelmsg (version 1.1.2.7),
to suppress first dmesg output line:
cvs-freebsd:/etc/periodic/security>diff 700.kernelmsg 700.kernelmsg-
47c47
< dmesg 2>/dev/null | tail +2 |
---
> dmesg 2>/dev/null |
Best Regards,
Gustavo
