Description Christian Schoenebeck 2007-11-30 18:04:50 UTC
app-admin/webalizer-2.01.10-r15 shows an irrelevant warning even when running with option "quiet", the warning is:

[new_snode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (75)
[new_snode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (67)
[new_snode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (67)
[new_snode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (75)
[new_snode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (67)
[new_snode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (67)

These warnings unnecessarily spam i.e. admin notification emails when webalizer is run via cron job.

This site discusses this issue and provides a patch to fix it:

http://www.kurtwerks.com/software/webalizer.html

And of course running webalizer with option "ReallyQuiet" to avoid these warnings is not a good idea at all. Since this would also ignore relevant warnings and critical errors.

Reproducible: Always
