2009-11-17 17:52:01 Richard Fleming attachment added Proposed patch for rsyslog.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35789407/rsync.conf.patch
2009-11-17 17:59:24 Richard Fleming description Binary package hint: rsyslog When using templates to create dynamic files with rsyslog, rsyslog fails to have the appropriate perms to access them. By default, directories created by rsyslog are owned root:root and generates an error in /var/log/syslog as follows: rsyslogd: Cout not open dynamic file '...' - discarding message Furthermore when adding the missing $DirOwner and $DirGroup to match those of $FileOwner and $FileGroup, the setting '$PrivDropToGroup syslog' further prevents rsyslog from creating dynamic files. Setting '$PrivDropToGroup adm' resolves this issue. Attached is a patch that corrects these issues.
