RE: [cobalt-security] logcheck Problem on Raq3?

["Steve West" <wppiphoto@xxxxxxxx>]

Harald,

Can you elborate a little more about what I need to do with "crontab -e"?
I'm still new to linux.

When I ran the command, all I saw was lots of "~" and the following line:

~
~
~
"/tmp/crontab.8799" 0 lines, 0 characters

Do I need to make any changes?

Also, I ran a ps -auxww | grep crond and it seems crond is running as admin
(should it be root?):

admin     8549  0.0  0.1  1192  460 pts/0    S    07:35   0:00 grep crond

Thanks for any help!

SW

hi,
maybe it would be an idea to do a "crontab -e" as root and have it to get a
root-cronjob?
