Hmm..., these involves "filesystem", "setup", "initscripts" and "msec". But 
since I now will drop msec, I don't have to modify these at all. I think 
"logcheck" and perhaps "tripwire" will pay more respect to the setup than 
msec does... :)

Don't get me wrong..., "msec" is really good at what it is supposed to do, 
but it's a living hell if you want something else like "multilog -t 
/var/log/qmail", "multilog -t /var/log/smtp", etc.
