Hi, |
| 2 |
today I received this mail from cron: |
| 3 |
--- |
| 4 |
error: skipping "/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log" because |
| 5 |
parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable |
| 6 |
or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive |
| 7 |
in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be |
| 8 |
used for rotation. |

My /var/log/portage/elog has this permissions: |
| 12 |
drwxrws--- 2 portage portage 4096 Jun 1 2010 elog |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
What is wrong with it? I'm pretty sure I did not touch it |
| 15 |
for years so I'm surprised logrotate is suddenly complaining |
| 16 |
(it has been updated recently, that might be reason). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Anyway, how should those permissions look like to make |
| 19 |
logrotate (and cron) happy? |
