msgs - Multiple ignore patterns

I had similar RE issues with hobbit-alerts.cfg. I reported it several 
times but never got any response.

I believe that the RE processing within hobbit is buggy. I haven't had 
time to track down where that is handled in the code, but would like 
to look at it if I can find it (hint, if you know where to look let me 
know). I'm assuming that hobbit is munging the RE before handing it 
off to PCRE. If not why would pcretest pass the RE and then it not 
work within hobbit.

    Looking at your original regex in pcretest, it should have worked.

    PCRE version 4.5 01-December-2003

      re> /plugin create statement from userPassword|plugin doing query/
    data> plugin create statement from userPassword
    0: plugin create statement from userPassword

    No match

    0: plugin doing query

    Did you wrap your regexp in "" in the file. They don't appear in your
    snippet below. I'm not sure if that is required or not.

    Didn't worked... :-(

    Thank you!

I'd hazard a quess that what your regex is saying is

Plugin create statement from [userPassword or plugin] doing
    query. Try
putting () around the statements.

(Plugin create statement from userPassword)|(plugin doing
    query). Not sure
if you need to escape the ()'s or not.

Hi everyone,

    I've applied the all-in-one patch but i still couldn't get
    multiple
patterns to work in IGNORE parameter... Here is my configuration:

LOG /var/log/syslog "%password|error|fail|changed|tcpd|Accepted"
COLOR=red IGNORE=%plugin create statement from
    userPassword|plugin doing
query SELECT
LOG /var/log/auth.log
"%password|error|fail|changed|tcpd|Accepted|jovial|tenebroso"

    COLOR=red

IGNORE=%plugin create statement from userPassword|plugin doing query

    SELECT

    Why this regex don't work ? Any idea ?

    Thank you all the attention...

    Cheers
