Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.35
Severity: minor
It appears that logcheck(1) cannot be run as is. It dislays:
# logcheck -l /var/log/syslog
logcheck should not be run as root. Use su to invoke logcheck:
su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck [options]" logcheck
Please add this to the manual page in new section "EXAMPLES" since the
manual page would otherwise suggest that logcheck can be used
directly as root.
