Hi. Logwatch 7.0 stable is out. I'd be grateful if this could be added to the tree. Many thanks.
Hi again. I'm not sure if this should be filed separately but since a new ebuild will be created I felt I should make a mention. When I emerged logwatch it was automatically added to daily cron which is fine but the email I got every day contained virtually no information. So by default, logwatch, serves almost no purpose on gentoo. For example, the sshd logs are in /var/log/sshd/ instead of being /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure as on other distributions. Therefore no bad login or good login information is provided. So different log file location may be one reason. Another reason may be that I am using packages that are not supported by default. However, I believe the base system should be supported on a default installation of logwatch. Thanks. Please let me know your thoughts. It may be something I'm doing wrong.
7.0 in portage
logwatch-7.0 does not work for me i get this error /usr/share/logwatch//default.conf/services: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden at /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl line 399. (tried to unmerge logwatch-6.x before emerging logwatch-7.0 but didn't change anything) i found out that logwatch-7.0 uses another filestructure, i found this post on the logwatch mailinglist: http://www2.list.logwatch.org:8080/pipermail/logwatch/2005-October/000952.html
so *file a new bug*
