Title:
Logrotate no longer supports symlinked configuration files not owned
by root
Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
We have been using logrotate 3.7.8 (as part of an Ubuntu 12 build) for
a long time. When we deploy our application, which has configuration
files owned by ubuntu user, we create a symlink from the logrotate
configuration directory (/etc/logrotate.d) to this configuration file,
which casues our log files to be correctly rotated.
With our new server build, Ubuntu 14 running logrotate 3.8.7, this
behaviour has now broken. Running logrotate with the -d flag reveals
why:
"Ignoring app-config-file because the file owner is wrong (should be
root)."
This appears to be a regression from the 3.7.x release stream of
logrotate ?
