[Logcheck-users] Debian sarge logckeck - lockfile error

[Zimmermann, Bernd]

Hi,

I got eMail from the hourly logcheck-cron job that it
fails to get the lockfile.
logcheck is fresh installed:

# ls -al /var/lock/logcheck/
drwxr-xr-x  2 logcheck logcheck 4096 Feb  7 12:36 .
drwx------  6 root     root     4096 Feb  7 06:26 ..

# su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -t -l /var/log/syslog -d -o"

Why ??
