OK, better version that switches to syslog user earlier to avoid issue with the kmsg pipe not giving us any data if we read from it before switching uid/gid.
So things this patch does: 1) Backports the 'DropPriv' config values from upstream 2) Copies the dd-shovels-proc-kmsg-to-readable-location logic from sysklogd and adds a config value to change klog location 3) Handles upgrade from sysklogd by doing the following: A) Splits rsyslog.conf into two parts: config stuff and rules B) If we're upgrading to this version or later and /etc/syslog.conf exists *and* is modified by user, then copy it to /etc/rsyslog.d/default.conf C) Merge our default rules into /etc/rsyslog.d/default.conf using ucf ** Attachment added: "rsyslog.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28066552/rsyslog.debdiff ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Confirmed ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Assignee: Michael Terry (mterry) => (unassigned) -- Don't run as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388608 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
