[Logcheck-users] Installing and running logcheck on CentOS

[Robert Rothenberg]

I've installed logcheck on CentOS from source, as well as liblockfile
and lockfile-progs.

I've created a logcheck user with /var/lib/logcheck as the home and
/sbin/nologin as the shell. logcheck user is in the adm group. I also
customised the list of logfiles for CentOS. When I run logcheck, I get
the following errors:

# sudo -u logcheck logcheck -ot
