I have noticed that in Mandrake(at least last time i used it over a year ago), and more recently in FreeBSD 4.4, both of these systems(probably others too) generate reports daily or weekly as to the status of the system. I was wondering if there was a package to do this for debian. I already use logcheck, which works, was suprised to see the information that the freebsd system generated for me to review, I could probably come up with some of it manually with scripts, but was curious if theres a package out there(even if its not packaged) that does this ..
