Glenn, I set some of my logs to 644 by doing this in syslog-ng.conf: -cut- destination local1 { file("/var/log/local1.log" perm(0644)); }; -cut- I also have newsyslog keep the same permissions. Andrews, Glenn J (Glenn) wrote:

Is there a way to set file permssions on the logs syslog-ng creates ? It seems to create them with 600 root:root which makes them read/write by root only. Can I set them to 644 ?

Maybe this is too simple but.. is that your entire config file? Do you not have destination and log directives?

Hi, I have set this configuration on central logserver

options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); log_fifo_size(1000); dnscache(yes); use_fqdn(yes); use_time_recvd(true); };

source src { internal(); file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: ")); tcp(ip(192.168.52.100) port(514) max-connections(1000)); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); };

but it does not work. The fist errore is on dnscache(yes);, if i remove this I get the second on use_time_recvd(true);, remove this one I get errore on file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: ")); .... why?

Thanks

Fiorenzi A.
