For example /var/log/localmessages seems to be created at installation time with 0644 root:root But the first log rotation changed this to 0640 and my users complained about that.

In fact, almost all the files in /etc/logrotate.d are owned by different packages, which should handle the permission consistency on themselves. It's not logrotate to blame for this. -- 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.

Should I report bugs against all these packages? I could also fix all these packages by myself and send many submit requests but I'm almost sure that they would be declined by their maintainers. I think we would need some kind of reference (maybe in packaging guidelines?) to a rule like "never hardcode permissions within logrotate configs". If there would be such reference we could start sending fixes against the single packages and there would be a good chance to get accepted without much more discussions. However I don't know how to go that way. Probably security team and logrotate maintainers should discuss about such rule. -- 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.

It's not much of a problem, if the packages keep the file permission consistent with the logrotate configs. A packaging guideline will solve this, you can try a feature request in fate. -- 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.

And it's not a bug in logrotate per se. You should report the localmessages inconsistency against klogd/syslogd. You have good ideas how to proceed with this generally, so feel free to try one of these. -- 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.
