Package: logrotate
Version: 3.8.1-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
- I was getting mail about insecure directories like /var/log/samba
after upgrade.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
- read man page
- moaned that my incomplete and nonfunctional patch to create for acls
was going to take more work
* What was the outcome of this action?
- confusion
- harassment
* What outcome did you expect instead?
- enlightenment
- sympathy
Does su change uids or just change acceptable ownership for parent
directory?
Which parts of the rotate happen as root and as su?
What exactly would happen if I did this:
su puser1 pgroup1
create 640 root adm
Should it work?
