Hello all,
This is a real mystery for me, and I need an answer to this problem:
As a regular user (not root) I want to be able to do a 'tail -f
/var/log/messages' whenever I dialup my ISP. This is all set up fine
but there is a recurring permissions problem: every time I reboot,
*something* changes the group permissions of /var/log/messages
FROM:
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 225523 May 18 13:15 /var/log/messages
^^^
BACK TO:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 225523 May 18 13:15 /var/log/messages
^^^^
I chgrp back to adm, and something changes it back to root, etc.
I have looked through /etc/cron.daily and found nothing. I have looked
through /etc/init.d shell scripts. I have tried tracking the
permissions change through syslogd logging - all unsuccessful. I cannot
seem to locate what mechanism is automatically changing this files
permissions.
Debian gurus - help?
R.
