 I just upgraded the logwatch on my CentOS 3 machine from the link above. A 
general pair of questions about all of this:

1. I run the cron.daily logwatch and would like to email myself when this is 
run. Cron seems to want to run this and mail to root. I changed the 
logwatch.conf file (in a few different places) to "mailto" my address, but 
it still mails to root. Anyone know which of the four or five logwatch.conf 
files will correct this?

2. If I upgraded, what do I do with the file attached in the earlier posts? 
I do see ClamAV and other new stuff in the report, but will the attached 
file make a difference in what I get with the off-the-shelf RPM from above?

Thanks

Steve
