Sure: sm01@stt008:~$ ls -la /var | grep log drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 2784 sep 19 08:02 log Only root user can write there unless you change the directory permissions. (...) > So anyone has an idea to create the logfile? As it seems you can't use use the syslog facility, how about storing the log files anywhere under the user home directory and instruct logrotate to find the files there? Once they are created you can move them to a different place by means of an automated job :-?
