Re: LF_PERMBLOCK_ALERT set to 0

Same issue here - the LF_PERMBLOCK_ALERT=0 setting has no effect and the permanent block notification emails continue to be sent. Current version is 12.09.

Re: Can't add root to mysyslog with csf.syslogusers

We just found another similar issue. Any usernames containing a hyphen/dash character in /etc/csf/csf.syslogusers don't get added to the mysyslog group. For example, with Plesk and qmail it logs to syslog with the username "mhandlers-user". We have this configured in csf.syslogusers but it...

Can't add root to mysyslog with csf.syslogusers

We have a CentOS 7 server where we are running CSF v10.04. On this server we have Qmail as the MTA (part of Plesk 12.5) and it logs to rsyslog via the 'root' user. I checked /etc/csf/csf.syslogusers and root is already included in the file by default. However, root does not get added to the mysyslog...
