How do I correct LogWatch error on Fedora 20?

  • 772

I have LogWatch running on a Fedora 20 server. Logwatch gives the following every night:

--------------------- Connections (secure-log) Begin ------------------------

**Unmatched Entries**

CROND: pam_env(crond:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/environment: No such file or directory: 199 Time(s)

crond: pam_env(crond:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/environment: No such file or directory: 398 Time(s)

---------------------- Connections (secure-log) End -------------------------

What could be generating these errors?

linux fedora fedora-20

    Crond is triggering these logs. You should suppress them by creating the file

    /etc/environment

    Though, you should update at least to Fedora 23. If it is a bug, it will not ever get fixed in Fedora 20, because it is years after EOL.
