Hi!

I'm new on this list but not new to logcheck ;) I use it on my Woody
server and it's great. Now I have another system with Sarge. I installed
the logcheck package and configured it but it doesn't work.

All I get is the following email:

Warning: If you are seeing this message, your log files may not have been
checked!

Details:
Failed to get lockfile: /var/lock/logcheck.lock

Check temporary directory:

declare -x HOME="/var/lib/logcheck"
declare -x LANG="de_DE"
declare -x LOGNAME="logcheck"
declare -x MAILTO="root"
declare -x OLDPWD
declare -x
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
declare -x PWD="/var/lib/logcheck"
declare -x SHELL="/bin/sh"
declare -x SHLVL="2"


I tried to create this file as root and set permissions to logcheck but it
didn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gunnar
