Package: cacti Version: 0.8.6c-7sarge2
Installation of cacti changes the ownership of all directories of /var/log. This causes problems on other daemons that wan to write to logfiles and suddenly loose their permissions. For example: # ls -al /var/log/exim4/ total 56 drwxr-s--- 2 cacti adm 4096 Mar 6 06:26 . drwxr-xr-x 14 cacti root 4096 Mar 6 06:26 .. -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim adm 2488 Mar 6 15:07 mainlog -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim adm 5362 Mar 6 06:07 mainlog.1 -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim adm 551 Feb 26 06:26 mainlog.10.gz #cat /var/log/syslog [snip] Mar 5 06:26:02 router exim[3280]: 2006-03-05 06:26:02 1FFknm-0000qu-F8 Cannot open main log file "/var/log/exim4/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=102 egid=102 Mar 5 06:26:02 router exim[3280]: exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above [snip] Solution # chown Debian-exim:adm /var/log/exim4 Regards Apostolos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
