After installing 4.1 and CVS'ing to 4.1.1, I find this error message daily
in the croned e-mail to root

******
Subject: FOO.BAR.net security check output

(NOT RELEVANT JUNK DELETED -DRC)

FOO.BAR.net login failures:
/var/log/messages.0*.gz: No such file or directory

FOO.BAR.net refused connections:
/var/log/messages.0*.gz: No such file or directory
******

If memory serves, this file should be the archived "messages" file (as do
the cron/sendmail.st/maillog files), and I do not recall having this problem
with 3.X and 4.0.  Try as I may, I cannot remember/figure out how to turn on
the archiving for this particular file.  Anyone care to refresh my memory?
