Public bug reported:

logwatch 7.4.0+svn20120502rev103-1ubuntu1

Description:    Ubuntu 13.04
Release:        13.04

Smartmontools/smartd are logging to syslog. However, the LogFile
directive in /usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf/services/smartd.conf is

LogFile = messages

This causes smartd log entries never to be reported by logwatch. Instead
it should be:

LogFile = syslog

I also attached a patch.

** Affects: logwatch (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "Patch chaging LogFile directive in /usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf/services/smartd.conf to syslog"
