Hi,

I have the following message:

> \<38\>sshd[31656]: Accepted password for root from 192.168.2.180 port 51942 ssh2

I want to create a filter that limits the results to only the 192.168.2.0/24 adress span and so i've tried the following:

message: "Accepted password for" AND NOT src\_ip: 192.168.2.0/24\<- i still get a hit  
message: "Accepted password for" AND NOT src\_ip: [192.168.2.0 TO 192.168.2.255] \<- still get a hit

I don't understand what i am doing wrong. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Range filter works for numbers only i believe.
