Bug 121576 – syslog-ng-1.6.9

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Igor Alekseev 2006-02-04 11:44:54 UTC]

At start syslog-ng-1.6.9 changes permissions for files in 600 and user name:group name in root:root.

example:

# grep '"/dev/tty12"' /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };


# ls -l /dev/tty10                                 
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 10 Feb  4 20:48 /dev/tty10
# ls -l /dev/tty11
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 11 Feb  4 20:48 /dev/tty11

# ls -l /dev/tty12
crw-------  1 root root 4, 12 Feb  4 22:40 /dev/tty12

/dev/tty12 is not a file, it's a device. And the permissions are correct.

But if to write down in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf /dev/null for example that after start syslog-ng permissions vary on 0600.

before
ls -l /dev/null 
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 3 Feb  4 05:11 /dev/null
after
ls -l /dev/null 
crw-------  1 root root 1, 3 Feb  4 05:32 /dev/null

Use perm, owner and group options if you want to do such stuff (see man syslog-ng.conf for more details). Default permissions are 0600 root:root for safety reasons, that is not a bug.
