>Description:
by default, logcheck's ignore rule seems to be matched for Linux's log message.
I noticed that some libpam messages are not same between Linux's and FreeBSD's.

from Linux's libpam...
  case PAM_AUTH_ERR:
    return _("Authentication failure");
  case PAM_USER_UNKNOWN:
    return _("User not known to the underlying authentication module");

from FreeBSD's libpam...
  case PAM_AUTH_ERR:
    return ("authentication error");
  case PAM_USER_UNKNOWN:
    return ("unknown user");

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
attached patch fixes this problem, I think.
