Public bug reported: I have installed a new ubuntu 22.04 server. After installing ufw and a mailer daemon and activate them. Rsyslog starts complaining about permission denied error in the following files:
/var/log/ufw.log /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.log and the following lines appear in journalctl. Jul 07 17:01:01 x rsyslogd[4622]: action 'action-6-builtin:omfile' resumed (module 'builtin:omfile') [v8.2112.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2359 ] Jul 07 17:01:01 x rsyslogd[4622]: action 'action-6-builtin:omfile' suspended (module 'builtin:omfile'), retry 0.

[v8.2112.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ] Creating the files manually and adding the group rsyslog:rsyslog solves the logs. Expected behaviour: rsyslog has the adequate configuration to create the files in /var/log and update them. What happened instead: the log files have to be created manually, or maybe, the default config of rsyslog modified. Or the permission of the /var/log folder have to be modified.
