RHBA-2006:0333 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
logwatch bug fix update
Type/Severity
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.
Bugs were found in the logwatch automount, cron and samba modules. The
kernel and up2date module were improved.
Users of logwatch should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.
