[SLUG] Probs getting logcheck to run.

[Michael Lake]

Hi all
I am having probs getting logcheck to run.
I have a setup using sudo like this:
        mikel myhostname=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/logcheck
but when I go to run it like this:
	mikel$ sudo logcheck -o
	logcheck should not be run as root. Use su to invoke logcheck:
	su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck [options]" logcheck
	mikel$ 

so I take their advice and run it like the above:
	mikel$ su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -o"
	Password: 
	logcheck should not be run as root. Use su to invoke logcheck:
	su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck [options]" logcheck
	mikel$

eh ? It stills tells me that it should not be run as root.
I can run it as me just to get version numbers and help 
	mikel$ /usr/sbin/logcheck -v
	logcheck 1.2.35

but I cant see to run it via sudo or su 

Mike
