forwarding logs

[Burke, Thomas G.]

I've done all this (except the permission checking)...  No change so far.  What *should* the permissions be?

I usually just edit the /etc/aliases file to have an email for root forwarded 
to a different account: 

root: me at workemail.com 

Then run 'newaliases'. 

If you use .forward file, the pitfall is usually with the permission of 
the .forward file. Take a look at /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages (ie. 
grep for ".forward"). 

You should not need to cange anything in the log script itself.
