Description copr 2022-04-25 13:09:44 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.5.7


How reproducible: Unknown, reliably on my machine


Steps to Reproduce:
1. (possibly) upgrade from f35
2. Have akmods installed
3. Wait for logrotate

Actual results:

    systemd[1]: Starting logrotate.service - Rotate log files...
    logrotate[366741]: error: skipping "/var/log/akmods/akmods.log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.
    systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE


Expected results: Logrotate does not fail


Additional info:

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

As a temporary workaround and if you don't mind, could you please try 
to edit (as root) the /etc/logrotate.d/akmods.conf file, and add one 
line containing the su directive as shown above:

/var/log/akmods/akmods.log {
    monthly
    rotate 12
    missingok
    notifempty
    create 644 root root
    su root akmods
}

Any feedback about this proposed modification would be welcome.

Cordially,

Hi,

I can confirm the modification works.

However I am not sure it is the correct solution as no other files on my system use the su directive even when they have different groups, e.g.:

$ stat /var/log/chrony/
  File: /var/log/chrony/
  Size: 0         	Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: 0,35	Inode: 158422      Links: 1
Access: (0750/drwxr-x---)  Uid: (  986/  chrony)   Gid: (  982/  chrony)
Context: system_u:object_r:chronyd_var_log_t:s0

$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/chrony
/var/log/chrony/*.log {
    missingok
    nocreate
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/chronyc cyclelogs > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
}

I'm not familiar enough with logrotate to know why it is not an issue for them.

Thanks,

nota

P.S. the file name akmods.conf also does not seem to follow the convention of the other packages, which use no suffix
