Bug 683626

   2. What is the nature and description of the request?: When logrotate rotates the log files, it removes ACLs. This should not happen; ACLs should be preserved.
   3. Why does the customer need this?:  Customer would like to permit certain groups to access all logs. He could achieve this by using ACLs, but these ACLs get removed when logs are rotated.
   4. How would the customer like to achieve this? :preserve ACLs during rotation 
   5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented. :check ACL after log rotation
   6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla? Yes, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666677
    Upstream commit: https://fedorahosted.org/logrotate/changeset/299
   7. How quickly does this need resolved?, RHEL 5 minor
   8. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria: yes
   9. List the affected packages: logrotate
  10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? yes

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that BZ 683622 has been accepted into RH6.3, can this request be re-evaluated for RH5? Seems like an EasyFix.

Not that "EasyFix" - new dependency on libacl, ~100 lines long patch adding this feature to logrotate. If you want this in RHEL5, please work on that with product support to increase chances for the logrotate update.
