I suggest splitting the workstation.ignore and server.ignore files into
several files for the types of things that they ignore and leaving the files
either in the main /etc/logcheck directory or in a /etc/logcheck/dist
directory. Then if at install time the user selects "server" then sym-links
are created from the workstation files to the ignore.d directory, and if they
want the server version of one of the files they can easily over-write the
link.
This method allows the user to easily accept part of the workstation
configuration and override parts that they don't like.
Keep up the good work with logcheck, you're doing a really good job!
