Package: rsyslog Version: 3.16.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
this might be an upstream issue. I'd like to completely disable Debian's default log locations. I can do this by commenting out the configuration from /etc/rsyslog.conf, but would have live with dpkg-conffile questions every time an update happens. IMO, it would be better to have the actual logging in /etc/rsyslog.d/zz_default_debian so that one can simply delete the file. I have solved this temporarily by a file /etc/rsyslog.d/00_zgserver.conf: auth.*,authpriv.* /var/log/syslog/auth.log *.*;auth.none,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog/syslog *.emerg * *.* ~ This does not, however, keep rsyslog from creating the normal files in /var/log, and from complaining that /var/log/syslog is a directory now. This is an acceptable workaround, but I'd love to have a more elegant solution. It would for example be possible to implement an option that keeps new files from being actually created until the first message is actually written to it, with the default being "create the file on rsyslogd startup" for compatibility.
