I've pushed issue slightly further by convincing logwatch to file into
/var/lib/logwatch/all_reports.txt by default, but I'm also trying to use
version controll on that file to obtain day-to-day deltas and that is
still producing a denial. What is the best way of approaching common
cron issues like that?
