Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rsyslog
I have rebuild rsyslog from source on ubuntu hardy and used it as replacement
for sysklogd since debian switched to it as default.
I now came across a difference between sysklogd and rsyslog. The former does
create a system user which owns the logfiles the later not.
That resulted in logfiles been owned by "dnsmasq" here because:
1. i purged sysklogd, the system user got removed.
2. installed rsyslog, not creating a user.
3. installed dnsmasq which created a new system user with the first free uid
which was 101.
I think to be a fully drop in replacement for sysklogd, rsyslog has to create
the same system user as sysklogd.
** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu)
