Bug#280125: [Logcheck-devel] Bug#280125: pam fails on su logcheck command in the crontab

[Pawel Konieczny]

I have retested the installation and removal of logcheck sereval times.  There is no trace of any irregularities (also no /var/log issue anymore).  There was probably something wrong with my past installation.  Please close my report.
