RHBA-2005:382 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated logwatch package is now available.

Description

LogWatch is a customizable log analysis system. LogWatch parses through
your system's logs for a given period of time and creates a report
analyzing areas that you specify, in as much detail as you require.

A bug was found in the logwatch zz-disk_space module. Previously, mounting
a file system with a device name longer than 20 characters resulted in
logwatch output that contained no information about the file system.

Users of logwatch should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
