Package: netperf Version: 2.6.0-2.1 Severity: normal I'd prefer to run short-lived instances of netserver as a normal user, not root, but that fails because netserver insists on trying to create /var/log/netserver.debug_<PID>, which it can't.
A simple way to specify an alternate logfile or log directory would fix this, I think. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages netperf depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 netperf recommends no packages. netperf suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
