2012-11-30 16:35:57 Sebastien Bacher description Hi, By default, the spool/work directory is as follows: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 8 2012 /var/spool/rsyslog This is incorrect as rsyslog drops root privileges and changes to the syslog user. As tested, spool files are also written out as the syslog user: root@juju-canonistack-haw-instance-1:/var/spool/rsyslog# ls -la total 16 drwxrwxrwx 2 syslog adm 4096 Nov 7 09:20 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Nov 7 06:46 .. -rw------- 1 syslog syslog 1603 Nov 7 09:20 srvrfwd.00000001 -rw------- 1 syslog syslog 482 Nov 7 09:20 srvrfwd.qi The version of rsyslog used is as follows: root@juju-canonistack-haw-instance-1:/var/spool# dpkg -l | grep rsyslog ii rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 reliable system and kernel logging daemon ii rsyslog-relp 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 RELP protocol support for rsyslog Could we please have this fixed? Thanks, Haw Impact: /var/spool/rsyslog has wrong ownership/permissions Test Case: ls -ld /var/spool/rsyslog -> should be owned by syslog:adm Regression Potential: Limited, the old permissions were wrong, it's still a change in behaviour though... --- Hi, By default, the spool/work directory is as follows: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 8 2012 /var/spool/rsyslog This is incorrect as rsyslog drops root privileges and changes to the syslog user.
