A few logwatch questions

[Andrew Bacchi]

You can have all root's mail sent to someone else by changing the
/etc/mail/aliases file and then running 'newaliases'.  At the bottom of
the file, you will see a line that says 

# Person who should get root's mail
root:           bacchi at rpi.edu

This will send ALL root mail to you, not just logwatch.
