Looking at the changelog for 14.19, this fix has been incorporated into their code

Thanks for making the patch file, I'll snarf that back for my use! Are you seeing the portscan checks working OK? Mine don't seem to, but I'm not sure if that's from this change (or an affect somewhere else), or something I've configured (tho I've got it configured the same as another one on Debian ...

Interested if anyone else has tested/tried this mod - whilst it appears that it is reading the files, it doesn't appear to be spotting port scans (it is spotting other things, so for example I get the SUDO usage alerts). I've had to set the files back to standard (not high-precision) logging, in rsy...

[Copied to here as a suggestion to bring to the attention of devs] Hi, Following investigation there is a change in Perl 5.38 which breaks LFD (see Debian 12 LFD issues by me in General Discussions). https://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta#readline%28%29-no-longer-clears-the-stream-error-and-eof-flags As...

The Regex pattern correctly identifies the code against an exemplar from the log, the issue appears to be it's simply not getting anything from the log when it tries to read. I added some extra output to the getlogfile function with LFD itself to get an idea of what it might be grabbing, and I get b...
