Hi all,

I use logcheck on many of my debian servers, using stable.  I have 1
machine running testing, for some reason testing ignores all my custom
exceptions, on stable I used a file called local to store all my person
exceptions.  Is anyone using testing and logcheck and if so you having
any problems or aware of any issues with testing version of logcheck.
I've tested my exceptions by using egrep and they work fine.  I've
tried reinstalling logcheck, a friend i know who also uses testing and
logcheck is also having the same problem.   I can not for the life of
me work out why my exceptions are being ignored, any help with this
issue would be great.

Gabe,

I had the same problem and finally found a simple fix.  I checked the
permissions of the file 'local' and found it was owned by root with
group root.  I changed the group to 'logcheck' and things began
working perfectly.

Hope that helps,

Ric
