    The script /etc/periodic/security/800.loginfail seems to have some
    problems, or something else on my system is interfering with it.

    The problem seems to be the catmsgs() function returns the contents of
    the auth.log file without any EOL's, so the following grep:

    grep -ia "^$yesterday.*(fail|illegal user)"

    fails due to the ^ anchor condition never being met.

    Is there something set on my system that is causing this? Or is this a
    general bug, or is it not a bug at all?

    Is there a better place to be asking these questions?

    Thanks, Ron
