I confirm that the patch in comment #1 works on Lucid. Setting the
$DirOwner and $DirGroup was essential to have rsyslog to creating new
directories that are part of the path to the dynamic files
("/var/log/central/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/%HOSTNAME%.log").I agree that using "$PrivDropToGroup adm" comes with a bigger risk than using "$PrivDropToGroup syslog" but the former provides out of the box compatibility with other tools like logcheck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484336 Title: /etc/rsyslog.conf permissions incorrect/missing for creation of dynamic files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/484336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
