Wonderful. I'm not sure why they split that out, but oh well. -- Andrew

Hello Andrew, on Friday, August 11, 2000 at 08:12:50 -0600, you sat in front of your keyboard and wrote:
I set in /etc/permissions.local a line to amke /var/log/messages world readible (/var/log/messages root.root 644). However, every night it gets set to something else. (I keep forgetting to look, but other isn't set to 4). When I run SuSEconfig again, it sets /var/log/messages properly to 644. The only permission set I can see that changes messages at all is paranoid, and I don't think I have that set. Even if I did, isn't permissions.local supposed to override that?
It's a SuSE 6.4 box upgraded from 6.1.
For this to work, you have to set the permissions of /var/log/messages in the file /etc/logfiles.
