Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2008:0750 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE logwatch bug fix and enhancement update 2008-07-23 16:49:48 UTC

Description Russell Coker 2006-09-04 07:21:31 UTC 
If you have $logdir=/XXX in your logwatch.conf then it will instead try to
access /xxx.  Currently the only way to access logs in a directory that contains
capital letters seems to be creating a symlink with only lowercase letters.  EG
"ln -s /XXX /xxx".
Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2007-10-26 09:08:31 UTC
