Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rsyslog
When using templates to create dynamic directories and files with
rsyslog, rsyslog can create the directories, but does not have the
appropriate permissions to create files within them.
By default, directories created by rsyslog are owned root:root and
generates an error in /var/log/syslog as follows:
rsyslogd: Cout not open dynamic file '...' -
discarding message
Furthermore, adding $DirOwner and $DirGroup to match those of $FileOwner
and $FileGroup, the setting '$PrivDropToGroup syslog' further prevents
rsyslog from creating dynamic files. Setting '$PrivDropToGroup adm'
resolves this issue.
Attached is a patch that corrects these issues.
