It did in some cases. However, the tools haven't kept up. Logwatch has effectively been a dead project for a decade, and epylog, designed as a more modern, smarter replacement, hasn't seen motion for years either. Additionally, mail-based reporting like this works fine for a handful of servers, but at least in my experience does not scale to dozens, let alone the hundreds a Linux sysadmin may be asked to manage these days. And, for home use, there's the problem that sending mail from a consumer broadband provider's network is unlikely to work without special configuration, and may be discarded as spam even then. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
