[Bug 280473] New: logfiles not owned by any package
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=280473 Summary: logfiles not owned by any package Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: mt@novell.com ReportedBy: lrupp@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de The logfiles /var/log/news/news.crit /var/log/news/news.err /var/log/news/news.notice /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/mail.err /var/log/localmessages /var/log/messages /var/log/firewall /var/log/warn are currently not owned by any package. They should be owned by packages/scripts who produce them or be "summarized" in syslog or syslog-ng packages. For the above ones I see only the "firewall" logfile which can perhaps be owned by the SuSEfirewall2 package. So I assign it to the syslog-ng maintainer - feel free to add other maintainers if they should keep track on "their" logfiles. Using something like %ghost %config(noreplace) /var/log/* in the %files list should aviod verify-errors from RPM or security scanners. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

IMHO the security scanner is buggy, this tool should know about system log files and ignore them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
