Public bug reported:
ubuntu 14.04.3 with all updates done.
This morning I enabled ufw full login for a while to track network problem.
Later I got warned /var is nearly full. I disabled login then found 3 huge
ufw.log kern.log & syslog files 1.2GB each. Wanting to logrotate to make room
nothing happens with sudo logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf nor sudo
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate although I can see some logs were rotated during past
night.
I have seen messages about permissions I can't remember where.
