Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.39 Severity: normal After a fresh install of the package I got this response:
/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 1: /var/log/syslog: Permission denied The fix to this problem was an erroneous "adm"-entry in the group-file rendering logcheck user not being a member of the "adm"-group. The entry looked like this: adm:x:4:logcheck:kimon After a fix to this: adm:x:4:logcheck,kimon it works smoothely. I suspect the config-routine does not take care of existing users in the group ?!? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11kg.nvidia.2 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages logcheck depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii cron 3.0pl1-86 management of regular background p ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii exim4 4.50-8 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-heavy [mail 4.50-8 exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended ii lockfile-progs 0.1.10 Programs for locking and unlocking ii logcheck-database 1.2.39 A database of system log rules for ii logtail 1.2.39 Print log file lines that have not ii mailutils [mailx] 1:0.6.1-4sarge1 GNU mailutils utilities for handli ii sysklogd [system-log-dae 1.4.1-17 System Logging Daemon -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
