Interpreting mail sent by logwatch
When I use my Redhat 7.3 machine I get sent mail that typically looks like this:
###### LogWatch 2.6 Begin #######
--------------------- ModProbe Begin ------------------------
Can't locate these modules:
char-major-226: 6 Time(s)
sound-service-0-0: 3 Time(s)
---------------------- ModProbe End -------------------------
------------ Connections (secure-log) Begin --------------
xinetd [909]: START: sgi-fam pid=1323 from=<no address>
xinetd [911]: START: sgi-fam pid=1326 from=<no address>
xinetd [911]: START: sgi-fam pid=1326 from=<no address>
------------ Connections (secure-log) End ----------------
--------------- sendmail Begin -----------------
778 bytes transferred
1 messages sent
--------------- sendmail End -------------------
Can anyone help me with what these messages indicate?
I have heard sendmail is not good to have running. Is it best to remove it?
Thanks
