Hi,
I wondered why some of my ignore rules didn't apply. Then I recognized
that for example the file /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/spamd is owned
by root.root and not readable by others. So the cronjob, which runs
under the user logcheck, simply couldn't read this file.
Only a few files have this rights, not all. A chown -R root.logcheck
/etc/logcheck has helped.
If it's interesting, I upgraded from woody, it was no install from
beginning.
Florian
