Package: acct
Version: 6.5.4-1
Severity: normal
I found many scripts logging under /var/log/foo/ tend to fail once
stupid admin like me kills this /var/log/foo directory by executing
"rm -rf *" in /var/log/.
The acct package has this problem. The /var/log/account/ directory are
created only by postinst.
mkdir -p /var/log/account
touch /var/log/account/pacct
chmod 0640 /var/log/account/pacct*
chown root:adm /var/log/account/pacct*
But /etc/cron.daily/acct does
-----
# Save log file
cd /var/log/account
-----
without checking existance.
what we need is following:
-----
# Save log file
if [ ! -d /var/log/account ]; then
mkdir -p /var/log/account
touch /var/log/account/pacct
chmod 0640 /var/log/account/pacct*
chown root:adm /var/log/account/pacct*
fi
cd /var/log/account
