Can you be more specific? What error do you get?
Well, the first problem (that I did not mention in the original bugreport) is that logcheck refuses to run as root and suggests running it as user logcheck - however the logcheck user does not exist in openSUSE nor it is created during logcheck install. foxbat:~ # logcheck logcheck should not be run as root. Use su to invoke logcheck: su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck" logcheck Or use sudo: sudo -u logcheck logcheck. Next I've tried it with my normal user account and got the following : puzel@foxbat:~> /usr/sbin/logcheck fatal: lockfile-progs is a prerequisite for logcheck, and was not found.
Does the file / package lockfile-progs exist in openSUSE? AFAIK lockfile-progs does not exist in standard openSUSE repos, but can be found in Ports:DebianBased:Auto build service project.
