I'm having an issue with:

LF_SU_EMAIL_ALERT = "1"

I usually login as a normal user via ssh on a non-standard port then su to root sometimes, but I only get the alert for the initial normal user login and not the switch to root. Is that normal behavoir?

I have this in csf.conf:
LF_SU_EMAIL_ALERT = "1"

SSHD_LOG = "/var/log/auth.log"
SU_LOG = "/var/log/auth.log"

ssh logins are reported but not su_log, even though I see the following in the auth.log:

May 7 14:33:41 mydomain su[13078]: Successful su for root by a_user_name

i am getting the alert for the SU with the SU template. but i am NOT getting the SSH login at all. EXCEPT! when i do get the SU alert, i then get 2 notices and both with the SU template. i am tshooting this right now but i've not been throo the csf code.

got a clue here
email was tripping up when 2+ comma del'd
look at csf.pl - line 1829 (domail sub) that an unclosed bracket '<' there?
i'm a php guy new to pl (i could kick myself) and dont know whether to remove that left bracket or add one at the end of 'hostname' (...hostname>")
anyway there is an errant formation in the 2nd email
and i'm not getting the ssh login.

I don't see that at line 1829 in my csf.pl

hmm... i removed the '<' in mine, going to run some tests this week, will get back.

It's picking them up because that line isn't matched by the regular expressions in regex.pm

What OS and version are you running?

I have the same issue with Debian 5 x64, my auth.log looks the same.

I'll add it to the dev list for Debian.
