Making /var/log/munin owned by munin:munin makes the issue go away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Additional info:
This was an issue with the 'munin-node' subpackage. It had /var/log/munin as root:root (since it runs as root and can write it's logs fine). The main munin package had it's /var/log/munin setup as 'munin:munin', but if you installed node after the main package, it changed the ownership of that directory. It should be fixed in the next release that I have just pushed out for build... 1.2.4-5. If you could retest after updating to that version, and confirm that it fixes the bug that would be great.
Installed it the same way I did the first time and it looks ok now (note: I don't have Extras enabled on my box so it's a "manual" install): [root@cpc2-oxfd8-4-0-cust64 20060109]# rpm -Uvh /mnt/1/downloads/fedora3/munin-*1.2.4-5.fc3.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:munin-node ########################################### [ 50%] 2:munin ########################################### [100%] [root@cpc2-oxfd8-4-0-cust64 20060109]# ll -d /var/log/munin drwxr-xr-x 2 munin munin 4096 Dec 24 16:20 /var/log/munin Thanks!
Additional note: I have actually removed previous munin packages (rpm -e munin munin-node) and moved /var/log/munin out of the way so that it had to be created again by rpm and *not* just "upgraded" (as the -U option for rpm would suggest).
Excellent. Thanks for bug report and feedback. If you spot any further issues, just file a new bug.
