Add minimal message body for all email.
Attached a minimal patch to provide a message body on all email messages;
thus shutting up /bin/mail and avoiding cron sending out email about the
"null message body".

Redirect /sbin/fixfiles STDOUT to /dev/null.
Primitive/brute-force patch to direct /sbin/fixfiles's warning when logging
to /dev/null to, uhm, /dev/null. :-)
This should probably be fixed in /sbin/fixfiles instead.
Null Message Patch added to policycoreutils-1_17_6-2 /sbin/fixfiles has been changed to no longer send anything to STDOUT. It now defaults to syslog unless an alternate log file is specified. Also moved to cron.weekly. Dan |
