sorry, mistaping ;) it's in '/etc/fwlogwatch/fwlogwatch.config'

oups, the only place I'vee not checked... you're right it was there at 
false, dunno why... changed it for 'true'.

and still crashing...

looking at the 'systemctl --failed' log it appears that it lacks the 
'/var/log/messages' directory, another thing that has not been created 
at installation of fwlogwatch...

IMHO that should be corrected in the installer...

BTW, now its up and running. :) let's see if I get messages from it ^^)

Thanks everyone :)
