But /var/log/news has 644. Not particularly useful for a directory. And straight crazy for a default (which apparently it is in rsyslog). The actual log files in it are fine, though. To make it absolutely clear: /var/log/news is created by rsyslog, because there are log files in it. So I consider parent directory creation in rsyslog broken: either it should not happen automatically, or the created directories should be root:root 755 (unless configured otherwise). > If inn(2) needs special permissions for /var/log/news, it should chown/chmod > so > in its postinst imho.

I agree, but not sure if Inn is the only news server in Debian. -- Cheers, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
