4 I too noticed this a while back, and when looking in /etc/cron.daily I
5 saw two files:
6
7 00-logwatch
8 logwatch
9
10 According to equery f logwatch | grep cron.daily, 00-logwatch is the
11 file that is associated with the currently installed logwatch package.
12 So my assumption is that the other file is a left over from a previous
13 version of logwatch.
14
15 At any rate, I removed the /etc/cron.daily/logwatch file, and now I
16 receive only one report from each of my logwatched systems. ;)

18 Hope that helps,
