hello LQ members
I've installed logcheck from the pclinuxos repos. I am using version 1.3.7
I ran logcheck without any parameters and the output said to use this
code to run it.
Code:
su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck" logcheck
I enter my root password and got a error message below
su: Authentication failure
I know my root password and I know for a fact, I entered it correctly but logcheck seems not able to authenticate it.
I even log in as root and tried to run logcheck and I got this message
logcheck should not be run as root. Use su to invoke logcheck:
su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck" logcheck
Or use sudo: sudo -u logcheck logcheck.
I think it's a bug.
Do you know a similar program I could try? Thanks
