Re: problem with logcheck



Hi,

If you run logcheck with the -d option, (for debug), you'll see that
your problem probably comes from permissions on
/etc/logcheck/locheck.conf.

user@host:~# /usr/sbin/logcheck -d
D: [1211805259] Turning debug mode on
D: [1211805259] Sourcing - /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf
D: [1211805259] Error: Config file /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf could not
be read

Hope this helps!
