Package: nws Version: 2.13-6.1 Severity: normal I've installed 'nws' without doing anything with its configuration. Yet, whenever the daily logrotate cron job runs, the 'nws' logrotate scriptlet somehow causes it to send mails with dozens of lines reporting connection problems. This is likely due to some attempts to connect to :8050 and :8090 as specified in /etc/nws.conf. It should probably check if the server is running, or do something entirely different, but regularly sending these mailbombs is not going to attract a lot of new users of the package...
