Description Maxime Carron 2013-01-24 18:24:27 UTC
Description of problem:
=======================
Create directive doesn't behave properly.
If specified create directive create a new file with the mode, owner and group of the file just rotated and not the ones specified in the conf file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
=============================================================
Tested on 
- fedora 17, logrotate-3.8.1-3
- RHEL 5, logrotate-3.7.4-9

How reproducible:
=================
always

Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1. touch /var/log/toto
2. chmod 644 /var/log/toto
3. ll /var/log/toto (-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 24 janv. 18:36 /var/log/toto)
4. edit /etc/logrotate.d/toto with config :
  /var/log/toto {
        create 0666 root root
        daily
        compress
        dateext
        rotate 10
  }
  => here we set permission 0666, which is different from the current on on /var/log/toto
5. force rotate :
   logrotate -f -v /etc/logrotate.d/toto
   => we notice in the log displayed on screen : "creating new /var/log/toto mode = 0666 uid = 0 gid = 0"
6. ll /var/log/toto
   => /var/log/toto still has 644 permissions

  
Actual results:
===============
logrotate doesnot apply the good permission

Expected results:
=================
logrotate should apply permission 666 to new file

Comment 3 Jan Kaluža 2013-01-25 06:30:25 UTC
It would be great if you could also verify if the bug is fixed. There is unit-test now for this bug and it is passing with logrotate-3.8.3. It also worked for me during tests.

Comment 4 Maxime Carron 2013-01-25 09:20:21 UTC
logrotate-3.8.3 fix the problem. Thank you.

I have the same problem with logrotate-3.7.4-9 on RHEL5.
Should I report the same bug against this version on RHEL bz?
