After logcheck.sh ran, it would leave some *.offset files in /var/log to 
bookmark the line number in each log file it accessed. I just wonder 
whether logrotate (which truncates the log files) would interfere with 
logcheck's offset files. So far, i don't hear anything bad from 
logcheck, but I was just not confident about that.
