Hi,
By default, the spool/work directory is as follows:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 8 2012 /var/spool/rsyslog
This is incorrect as rsyslog drops root privileges and changes to the
syslog user. As tested, spool files are also written out as the syslog
user:
root@juju-canonistack-haw-instance-1:/var/spool/rsyslog# ls -la
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 syslog adm 4096 Nov 7 09:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Nov 7 06:46 ..
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 1603 Nov 7 09:20 srvrfwd.00000001
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 482 Nov 7 09:20 srvrfwd.qi
The version of rsyslog used is as follows:
root@juju-canonistack-haw-instance-1:/var/spool# dpkg -l | grep rsyslog
ii rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 reliable
system and kernel logging daemon
ii rsyslog-relp 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 RELP
protocol support for rsyslog
-
Could we please have this fixed?

Thanks,
Haw
