Hello guys
Having headaches here how to make logrotation for dovecot log files
work. Having permission issues:
michael.heuberger at xxx /e/l/daily ❯❯❯ sudo logrotate -fv
dovecot.daily
⏎
reading config file dovecot.daily
Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: /var/log/dovecot*.log forced from command line (10
rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/dovecot.log
error: skipping "/var/log/dovecot.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.
This is my current logrotation conf for dovecot:
/var/log/dovecot*.log {
rotate 10
missingok
sharedscripts
postrotate
doveadm log reopen
endscript
}
And the /var/log folder has these permissions:
drwxrwxr-x 12 root syslog 4.0K Mar 19 12:43 log
Any clues what's wrong?
Thanks
Michael
