Description of problem: Logrotate emails me: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: skipping "/var/log/vultures/vultures_log.txt" 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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nethack-vultures-2.1.2-3.fc15.i686 How reproducible: every night Steps to Reproduce: 1. install nethack-vultures 2. install logrotate 3. play some games so logs get generated 4. wait until cron.daily runs at night Actual results: above error, no rotate Expected results: no error, rotated logs Additional info: Seems to be the same bug as 751581, but for vultures. The same fix there should apply here. Not sure why I have f16 installed yet my nethack-vultures says it's fc15? I did yum upgrade from F15.
Fedora 16: nethack-vultures-2.1.2-3.fc15.x86_64 (and logrotate-3.8.0-3.fc16.x86_64) It's not necessary to play the 'vultures' games -- just having 'nethack-vultures' installed is sufficient to generate the error mails. Adding the line "su root vultures" to /etc/logrotate.d/nethack-vultures fixes the problem. | diff -C3 -r1.1 nethack-vultures | *** nethack-vultures 2011/12/17 22:09:12 1.1 | --- nethack-vultures 2011/12/17 22:24:47 | *************** | *** 3,6 **** | --- 3,7 ---- | nocreate | notifempty | missingok | + su root vultures | }
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Still seeing this in new installation…
updating version as I'm seeing this with nethack-vultures-2.1.2-6.fc17.x86_64 this is easyfix, patch provided in comment #1 - pretty please with sugar on top, find 10 minutes to update the package so that [number of people having installed games * each day * 10 seconds] is not lost on dealing with those annoying logrotate errors
