Hi, After upgrading logcheck from 1.1.1 to 1.2.54 I suddenly get errors of logcheck not working correctly: ... Warning: If you are seeing this message, your log files may not have been checked! Details: Could not run logtail or save output Check temporary directory: /tmp/logcheck.6IZZmq Also verify that the logcheck user can read all files referenced in /etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles! declare -x HOME="/var/lib/logcheck" declare -x LOGNAME="logcheck" declare -x MAILTO="root" declare -x OLDPWD declare -x PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin" declare -x PWD="/var/lib/logcheck" declare -x SHELL="/bin/sh" declare -x SHLVL="1" declare -x USER="logcheck" ... In version 1.1.1 there was a script logcheck.sh in cron that ran every hour but that doesn't seem to exist anymore. Trying to run logcheck manually results in: ... logcheck should not be run as root. Use su to invoke logcheck: su logcheck -c "/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/sbin/logcheck" Or use sudo: sudo -u logcheck logcheck. ... But this doesn't seem to do anything. How can I use logcheck again? Thanks, Marco -- If I want your opinion, I'll ask you to fill out the necessary form.
