Package: logrotate
Version: 3.8.1-4
Severity: normal
Under the include directive, logrotate(8) says:
"The only files which are ignored are files which are not regular files
(such as directories and named pipes) and files whose names end with one
of the taboo extensions, as specified by the tabooext directive."
This is not true. It would appear that files are also ignored because of
some unspecified "bad" file modes, which include being group writeable.
Unfortunately logrotate does not mention that it is ignoring these files
unless it is especially run in verbose mode, which makes tracking down
this problem more difficult. Other configuration errors usually generate
notification emails.
Thanks,
Roger
