I like it. You can easily configure which services is scans the logs for by editing /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf It defaults to doing everything possible, but you can turn that off and then select individual services. The services themselves are defined in /etc/logwatch/conf/services/ -Vic /me prefers the broken-reply-to lists. :) -- Vic Gedris | Sick of getting Microsoft email viruses?
