Additional info:
i checked the script "vi /usr/sbin/logcheck" and on line 482 there is
this code:
# Now source the config file - before things that should not be changed
. $CONFFILE
So this is what initially fails.
Indeed when i try to source it, i get this (as root):
su -s /bin/bash -c "source /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf " logcheck
bash: line 1: /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf: Access denied
Permissions of the logcheck.conf file:
-rw-r----- 1 root logcheck 1929 2005-02-21 06:38 logcheck.conf
So what's going on?
