Comment 10 for bug 940030

This affects the current development track for Saucy.

I have a minimal server install of 64-bit 13.10 and since logrotate ran at 0630 there have been no updates to any log files. Restarting rsyslog hasn't improved things. some log files seem to be owned by "messagebus:adm", rsylog is user "syslog" and only a member of "syslog" group.
