As of late, lynis has undergone many updates. I assign the reportfile and logfile to specific locations by setting the variables in /usr/share/lynis/include/consts. With epatch enabled these seetings could carry without manual edit of the consts file. Reproducible: Always
Another change V 1.5.1 on 140425. Any movement on this?
epatch_user has been added in 1.5.2.
