[Logcheck-devel] Bug#252597: logcheck: user logchecks mails should be delivered to root
Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.20a Severity: important Since logcheck changed to run as user logcheck, the error mails of the cron daemon end up in /var/mail/logcheck where nobody reads them. Mails for logcheck should be aliased to root like all the other mails of system accounts. I was searching for a long time what was wrong with my logcheck not delivering any mails. The lock directory was not world writable and a logfile was not readable by group adm. Please add the alias to the alias file or add a .forward file.
