[Logcheck-devel] Bug#443987: logcheck: Exiting due to errors

[Wojciech Zareba]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.61
Severity: important


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

Details:
Could not run logtail or save output

Check temporary directory: /tmp/logcheck.Lz3123

Also verify that the logcheck user can read all files referenced in
/etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles!

declare -x HOME="/var/lib/logcheck"
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"


In the logcheck.logfiles I have standard files:
# these files will be checked by logcheck
# This has been tuned towards a default syslog install
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/auth.log

Wojciech Zareba
