Why is logwatch writing files to /? This looks like a configuration problem.
No idea...changing component to logwatch.
What's the status of this bug?

I have two questions: 1) what says "rpm -q logwatch"? 2) what says "grep TmpDir /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf"?
logwatch-6.0.1-1 TmpDir = /tmp
I think it should be fixed in logwatch-6.0.1-2. If you want to try my fixes they are temporarily available at http://people.redhat.com/jryska/logwatch-6.0.1-2.testing.noarch.rpm http://people.redhat.com/jryska/logwatch-6.0.1-2.testing.src.rpm
This (and many other bugs) are fixed in the current upstream 6.1 release. Is it possible to roll that in?
Haven't seen this in a while...could it be fixed? This is logwatch-6.0.1-2. Sorry that I didn't test it when you asked me to - lots of stuff to take care of, and I forget. Closing for now, may reopen if I see it again.
