Package: systemd Version: 252.26-1~deb12u2 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: w...@rivoreo.one
When system has a SSH service open to the internet, it is very common that this service attracting a lot of brute force attacks, this is normal. An usual system would already have logged such attacks in systemd journal and/or traditional log files. I don't want a separate accounting database for the failed login attempts. In the days before systemd, an administrator can simply remove /var/log/btmp file; this is enough to disable the database. But systemd ships /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf which would cause that file being created unconditionally. Of course I can disable the shipped configuration file by doing a 'ln -s /dev/null /etc/tmpfiles.d/var.conf', but this default still creates an unexpected difference on systems with and without systemd. The /var/log/btmp should be created once on 'base-files' package configuration time (see its post-installation script), not on every time the system boots. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-23-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU thread; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh_TW:en_US:en_GB Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii libacl1 2.3.1-3 ii libaudit1 1:3.0.9-1 ii libblkid1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u7 ii libcap2 1:2.66-4 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.6.1-4~deb12u2 ii libfdisk1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii libgcrypt20 1.10.1-3 ii libkmod2 30+20221128-1 ii liblz4-1 1.9.4-1 ii liblzma5 5.4.1-0.2 ii libmount1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii libp11-kit0 0.24.1-2 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1+deb12u1 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b6 ii libssl3 3.0.13-1~deb12u1 ii libsystemd-shared 252.26-1~deb12u2 ii libsystemd0 252.26-1~deb12u2 ii libzstd1 1.5.4+dfsg2-5 ii mount 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus [default-dbus-system-bus] 1.14.10-1~deb12u1 ii systemd-timesyncd [time-daemon] 252.26-1~deb12u2 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii libfido2-1 1.12.0-2+b1 pn libqrencode4 <none> pn libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 <none> pn libtss2-mu0 <none> pn libtss2-rc0 <none> pn polkitd | policykit-1 <none> pn systemd-boot <none> pn systemd-container <none> pn systemd-homed <none> pn systemd-resolved <none> pn systemd-userdbd <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: ii dbus-user-session 1.14.10-1~deb12u1 pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.142 ii libnss-systemd 252.26-1~deb12u2 ii libpam-systemd 252.26-1~deb12u2 ii udev 252.26-1~deb12u2 -- no debconf information
