The inetutils-syslogd (2:1.5.dfsg.1-9) package provides a system
logging daemon.  syslogd periodically logs the following message:

Dec 17 00:29:11 host syslogd (GNU inetutils 1.5): restart

The following logcheck rulefile works to filter the messages from the
"System Events" email:

# cat inetutils-syslogd
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ syslogd \(GNU inetutils [1-9]\.[0-9]+\): restart$

This bug report is for logcheck 1.2.69 but I have looked at the
logcheck package files in wheezy (1.3.14) and it appears
inetutils-syslogd remains unaccounted for (although note that
inetutils-syslogd is now at 2:1.8-5).

Thanks.

It's a shame no-one replied to this bug from 2011!

The above comment suggests the rule provided is no longer valid as the
version is now different
Also, we dont usually add rules for starup messages - if the above is
only produced on startup we wouldnt add it anyway

Is there still interest in adding rules for inetutils-syslogd to
logcheck? if so, we'd need an updated set of rules, otherwise we will
have to close this bug
