I thought it would send email, but then I noticed that it's started with "--capabilities", which breaks email notification according to the manpage, so now I don't know what to believe. It does indeed seem much less useful if it can't send email. Unless Logwatch picks up the warnings from the log? But that again requires local email. > It can, but most people don't have a good setup for even local mail > delivery. Out of the box, we don't really do anything useful. It wouldn't take much. Install Postfix, and when Anaconda creates the first user account, have it add a mapping from root to that username in /etc/aliases. Then a variety of MUAs can pick up the emails from /var/spool/mail. But I guess those who want fewer daemons won't be happy to see Postfix added just for a chance to be warned about an imminent breakdown. Björn Persson
