Bug 20575

Summary: /etc/security errors if no old compressed files
Product: Base System Reporter: sjr <sjr>
Component: miscAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 4.1-STABLE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description sjr 2000-08-13 16:10:01 UTC 
	When /etc/security is run on a new install, it errors
	since there are no old zgipped files:

	XXX login failures:
	/var/log/messages.0*.gz: No such file or directory

	XXX refused connections:
	/var/log/messages.0*.gz: No such file or directory

Fix: 

There are probably two different solutions to this problem, either
	redirect error output to /dev/null, or implement a similiar
	solution to the one in 460.status-mail-rejects.

	See PR (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20514)

Perhaps zcat needs a -s option (as cat(1) has).

Perhaps, but you could get around this problem quite easily with the
following patch.

Ciao,
