Just found this and it's covering similar ground to bug #407862. From my experience in that bug:
I agree that $DirOwner and $DirGroup should be configured. I agree that $DirGroup, $FileGroup and $PrivDropToGroup have to be the same for rsyslog to create dynamic files properly. However I don't believe $PrivDropToGroup _should_ have to be the same as the others. I'm also uncomfortable running rsyslog as adm as this gives access to facilities which are irrelevant and, conversely, I don't like the idea of putting a user in group adm (so they can see logs amongst other things) into group syslog although that's waht I am doing at the moment. -- /etc/rsyslog.conf permissions incorrect/missing for creation of dynamic files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
