Hello! I found out what's causing lockfile-create to fail to obtain the lockfile needed for running logcheck: The directory permission for /var/lock on my maschine: drwx------ 3 root root 4096 2006-07-31 09:38 lock
And for /var/lock/lockfile: drwxr-xr-x 2 logcheck logcheck 4096 2005-04-19 17:58 logcheck The /var/lock/lockfile looks fine but with the permission of /var/lock the user lockcheck under which the lockcheck script will be executed has no rights to access /var/lock/lockfile since /var/lock is only accessible for root. Perhaps there's something wrong with the permission settings of /var/lock? On my Debian Woody server /var/lock looks like this: drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 Aug 26 2005 lock Greetings, Matthias Pitzl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
