Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Logcheck configuration is done in the file /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf.
To change the email address to which reports are sent, change the line:
SENDMAILTO="root"
to:
SENDMAILTO="emailaddress@some.domain.tld"
The reportlevel (that is, the degree of filtering applied to "routine" system
events) can be reduced from the default by changing the line:
REPORTLEVEL="server"
to:
REPORTLEVEL="workstation"
or increased:
REPORTLEVEL="paranoid"
Note that "server" includes "paranoid" and "workstation" includes "server"
(which includes "paranoid").
There are a number of other options which are documented in
/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf itself.
By default logcheck is set to run once an hour. This can be changed by editing
/etc/cron.d/logcheck.
Please note that the permissions of rulefiles installed with
dh_installlogcheck after installing logcheck will differ from those included
in logcheck-database. This is because dh_installlogcheck cannot yet assume
that the logcheck user exists. This may be changed in a future version of
Debian.
Backports
~~~~~~~~~
See /usr/local/share/logcheck-database/README.backports.gz .
