Bug Description

With recent OpenSSH clients, logcheck reports "Disconnected by user" log messages; the rules need to be updated.

Impact: installs with logcheck get spurious emails (every time a recent client connects) and this is only going to get worse.

Bug was addressed by adding a RE for the new message.

TEST CASE:
Install logcheck, connect from e.g. a lucid install, wait for logcheck's cron to run, see whether you get an email.

Regression potential: People with local changes need to merge conffiles.

THIS SRU REQUEST IS BEING TRACKED IN MAIN BUG #463471.

Fixed in lucid

  * rulefiles/linux/ignore.d.server/ssh: Add "disconnected by user" re in the
    "Received disconnect from" series; this now occurs frequently with lucid
    ssh clients.

  * rulefiles/linux/ignore.d.server/dhclient: match optional ip address;
