What's logcheck/cracking.d?
I've been recently trying to upgrady my debian/woody box to unstable, so
that I can pull KDE up to KDE 3.04 or better, because of a bunch of
crashing on my sound server, plus some bug reports that essentially
say that the 2.2.2 Konquerer has some major security flaws.
Anyhow, while doing the DSELECT thing, I got this message
Configuration file /etc/logcheck/cracking.d/standard
==> File on system created by you or by script
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer
What would you like to do about it?
When I type 'D' (show the differences between the versions) I see:

Can anyone tell me what this is about? Did I get an attempted (maybe
successful) buffer overflow attack against my computer, somehow?
