    Default Something of interest in my Logwatch log...

    Does this look suspicious to anyone else but me?

    this wouldnt be cpanel related would it?


    never seen this before, and no one on our side has done any of this, didnt know if it was automated or not.

    That's from whatis processing, probably in /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron which you probably never use (whatis) so isn't anything to worry about.
