Logwatch Emails?


I was wondering how can I setup logwatch to send logs via email to my main PC on the LAN so I get them all in one location rather than having to look at every server individually?

I tried a search on here but was unable to find this info.

I am using a very basic RHEL4 system.

Thanks!

The easiest way is to put a file called ".forward" in the /root directory with a valid email address for that main server. Then all the mail that the user "root" gets will go to that main server account instead.
