Hello!
I having a problem with the permissions of some of my logfiles.
It seems that when the files are rotated, the user/group is root root and the permissions are rw for root only.
more info hereunder:
The strange thing is that sometimes it works for one file...
/var/log/cisco_acl.log /var/log/cisco_debug.log {
rotate 1
notifempty
#daily
size 1k
create 0640 root noc
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
[root at syslog-b11 log]# ls -l cisco*
