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
