The lr_config script is a very nice feature!
I think it makes the setup of logreport by a new sysadm a lot easier.
It didn't quite do what I wanted it to do though -- I'd like to have
the capability to specify processing of multiple logfiles in one run.
I found a way around that by specifying a dummy log file, and a filter
definition like
    filter="zcat -f /var/log/httpd/access_log*"
(by editing the etc/lire/*/weekly.1.local file afterwards);
I don't know if that's the proper way to do it though .....

On a different subject: the timestamps in the report header appear to
be off by 25 hours.  E.g. when I process a logfile containing records
with timestamps between Sun Mar 11 04:59:49 and Sun Mar 18 03:34:30,
the report header claims to report over the period:
    Mon Mar 12 05:59:49 2001 - Mon Mar 19 04:34:30 2001
Any ideas about that???
(It's not my local setup, it also happens for logfiles sent to the
logreport responder. And it also happened with the previous release(s),
but I didn't pay proper attention to it at the time).

Best regards,
