Description of problem:
logwatch dumps all of the entries from /var/log/cron into my admin
mailbox.  Upon closer inspection, I found this regexp in
/etc/log.d/scripts/services/cron:

"s/^... .. ..:..:.. \w+ \w+\[\d+\]: \((\S+)\)\s+//"

This fails on my computer because the first \w doesn't match the "-" sign in my
hostname.  Replacing it with [\w-] is also incorrect (but works for me :-)
because, AFAIR, DNS documentation says host names should comprise of
[a-zA-Z0-9-] (note no underscore).  So the correct
regex would probably have [a-zA-Z0-9-]+ instead of the first \w.
