Help with exact

[Wayne Swart]

Hi guys (and gurls)

I am having a bit of issues using exact, getting it to match an expression
in my log file. what other options are there for order (if any)?

here is what i have in my log file for pop authentication:

Dec 17 10:55:28 gemini popa3d[69906]: Authentication passed for tobie
Dec 17 10:55:28 gemini popa3d[69906]: 0 messages (0 bytes) loaded
Dec 17 10:55:37 gemini popa3d[69906]: 0 (0) deleted, 0 (0) left

Using popa3d

This is what i have in my exact config file:

#popa3d
order           username,address
match           (Authentication passed for) (.*).*\[([0-9\.]*)\]$

I have tried it without the '()'s as well and without the
'(.*).*\[([0-9\.]*)\]$' options, but to no avail.

it doesn't seem to write to the /var/exact/relay file?

Here is what i see when running exact with -d -f:

0 bytes added to file
read 0 lines with a pause of 1000000 usecs
200 bytes added to file
read 3 lines with a pause of 1000000 usecs
Matching against Dec 17 10:58:09 gemini popa3d[69919]: Authentication
passed for tobie
No match
Matching against Dec 17 10:58:09 gemini popa3d[69919]: 0 messages (0
bytes) loaded
No match
Matching against Dec 17 10:58:09 gemini popa3d[69919]: 0 (0) deleted, 0

No match

Can you guys please help me, as i have to get this up and running?

Thanking you in advance.

Kin Regards.
