| [kmob] | quick question, is anyone else seeing yum-updatesd eating up all available memory and crashing the kernel on centos 5? |
| bernardl | does anybody know if i can change the log file ownerships via syslog.conf? |
| [kmob] | you can change theownership anywhere it's logrotate that will set them back once it rotates the logs |
| bernardl | [kmob]: huh? i want the log files to be written out by another user besides 'root' |
| [kmob] | sorry, misspoke. i mean you could set them to whatever you'd like, but logrotates is configured to set the new file to a standard set of permissions oh. so you want hte owner of the files to be 'xxx' rather then root? |
| bernardl | i wanted specific logs to be written out by another user so that the user can read it exactly |
| [kmob] | AH. ok probably the easier way to do that would be to change the group ownership |
| bernardl | how? i cannot find any configuration options in syslog.conf |
| [kmob] | it's not a syslog.conf config. syslog.conf will always write to the files as the user it's running as |
| bernardl | which is root |
| [kmob] | what you can do is have logrotate craete the files before it restarts syslog so that the ownership is right that way, so long as syslog can write the file, it won't change the permissions so i'd go to /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and change what you want the perms to be there |
| bernardl | well how about i have syslog log to another dir and maybe put a sticky bit on that dir and somehow force the group ownership to be something else, would that work? |
| [kmob] | that could work. but if you change the group membership of /var/log to be the user you want to be able to see the logs, and set the sticky bit there, it would work |
| bernardl | well with syslog.conf |
| [kmob] | so for example: |
| bernardl | i don't have to log to /var/log i can put it wherever i want |
| [kmob] | correct so you could put the logs whereever you want, sticky bit that directory and set the group owner to be your user |
