I've noticed on FC3 that I'm getting bogus reports of yum activity from
logwatch.
The problem is that
1. Yum logs are not rotated. This is fine by me, they are not likely to
become very large.
2. The date in yum logs doesn't include the year.
The result is that logwatch does not, cannot distinguish April 1 2005
from April 1 2006, and so reports previous years' update avtivity on its
anniversary.
Now that I know the reason for the bogus reports I'm not going to bother
with it further, but perhaps users of releases of FC that are officially
supported could check this out and report if it it's a continuing bug?
The fix _I_ would prefer is to include the year in the log entries' date
and for logwatch to include they year in its date comparisons.
At 25K, my yum log isn't big enough to warrant rotating it.
