• Bug in hack.log?

    I think I found a potential bug in the hack.log output in testing my OSSEC integration.

    Using SMTP's AUTH LOGIN, I generated the base64 information using:
    echo 'username' | base64

    This yielded a result of the username having a \n at the end. When hack.log outputted this to the hack.log, it retained that \n literally, putting a newline in there on the hack.log at that spot at the end of the username, breaking up the 4-line format of the hack.log.

    It's minor, but could break things watching that log, like OSSEC, which needs a consistent number of lines for multiline parsing.
