Well a few weeks ago after updating, my logwatch reports just
stopped, i had some
permission problems and other such things. So last night what i did was
yum remove sendmail logwatch
then i reinstalled them and was gettting the error
logwatch cannot execute sendmail -t
turns out that in the /usr/share/--- logwatch.conf its says mailer
= " sendmail -t"
but that kicks in the error so in etc/logwatch/logwatch.conf if you add
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
then the error goes away and logwatch reports start flowing back to
my inbox like normal
so that fixed my error and all is well now. Talking with people last
night they said it
was weird probably that a symlink was pointing to where it should be.
Weird thing was i
did a fresh install on my laptop while working on my main machine last
night and was
getting the exact same issue on a fresh install. but again applying
this fix made it work
fine. So the question is now is, is it a logwatch issue or a sendmail
issue and if so
where and how to fix
it. I'm gonna write up a full bug report hopefully tonight and look
upstream as well to
see if there are any bugs filed with RH about this as well.
