I still believe there is a bug, although it has changed slightly. I'm running a very new, fresh install of feisty.
The default /etc/init.d/sysklogd has the line: SYSLOGD="-u syslog" The default /etc/init.d/syslogd has the line: SYSLOGD="" which overrides/nukes the init.d parameters. This means that syslogd is running as root, instead of running as the lower privileged user of "syslog". I confirmed this with "ps -ef". A fix would be to copy/move the "SYSLOGD=" line from init.d into /etc/default/syslogd. Or to remove /etc/default/syslogd entirely in the default install. -- sysklogd init-script arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
