Logwatch sends me this message:

What can it be and where can I read about such messages?

# ls -ld /var

it would appear that you changed the perms on this directory - probably
not a very good idea changing the perms of the root level folders such
as /, /tmp, /usr, /var, /home
chmod 755 /var
should be all you need do unless the owner isn't root:root
Thanks, I've chmod'ed it now. But - forgive my lack of knowledge - what does
"lax" mean?
