Hi,

I have discovered a small bug in the file scripts/logwatch.pl. In CVS
revision 1.206, line 764 is currently:

$FileText .= ($ThisFile . " ");

This will, however, generate a fail at a later point of time if the file
name contains a space, since the command above is part of a list
generation of log files to be catted later on. If a file name contains a
space it will become two files in the list and cat obviously can't find
any of them. A very simple fix that solved the problem for me was to
change the line to this:

$FileText .= ("'" . $ThisFile . "' ");

I do not know if this will be a problem on other platforms than the one
I am using, Centos Linux 4.

I hope you can use my feed back.


Regards,

Jonas Thomsen
