Hello,
I'd like to comment on the "logwatch doesn't install default config"
bugreport. Let me start by describing the problem I had:
On a machine of ours logwatch was using a really weird domain in the
sender address (From: ...). I've got no clue where it got it from. So I
wanted to configure it. But from the documentation I could not find a hint
how to do that. The closest information I found in the provided docs
and through online search was to modify logwatch files directly in
/usr/.../logwatch. Well, that certainly can't be a good way to do it.
Then I found http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/logwatch1.htm and things cleared
up. So I'd like to suggest to provide a /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
file as exemplified by that article, that contains all the default
logwatch settings and can be changed to the admin's preferences and needs.
Thanks,
*t
