 Spoke too soon
After running fine for 2 days the daily report is back to reporting nothing.
I have noticed that permission is denied to append zimbra.log by syslogd
the syslog.conf is:
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron
# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *
# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.* /var/log/boot.log
local0.* -/var/log/zimbra.log
mail.* -/var/log/zimbra.log
The last line is different from the ealier conf file
file is root owned with 0644 permission
/var/log/zimbra.log is zimbra owned with 0644 permission
/etc/init.d/syslog is owned by root  |
