When I use "test=ntp$" I get a match on both "ntp" and "ntpsync" tests. I'm guessing that the "test" keyword uses the pcre library with an option like PCRE_NOTEOL - because it does work (excludes "ntpsync") if I use "test=ntp\z" - but I can't find where in the code this is set. The same happens when I use a "host=" regular expression.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Jeremy<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
