I may be out of my league here, but we had a similar problem. This is what we discovered with an explanation from our IT gurus: In Debian there is a system wide cron that rotates all log files that are controlled by syslog and also meet certain criteria (file size, modify time, etc.). Under some circumstances these criteria will all be met, and when the logs are rotated they get owned by root.
Most distros include logrotate(8) these days. RHEL certainly does. Where ever you rotate LDM's logs, just add:
create 0664 ldm ldm
in the right spot and that will take care of it.
Not that I've actually done that on mine (/makes note to self/).
One simple workaround is to simply rotate your logs via the ldm's cron right before the system cron runs. The system cron gets run at 6:24 everyday, so you can just rotate around 6:15 and usually that will work.
Simple, but ugly, unless you don't have root access. -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws@xxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback?
