from the quill of Lenny Cartier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on scroll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > [Contrib-RPM] > > --=-=-= > Name : junkbuster Distribution: Mandrake > Version : 2.0.2 Vendor: MandrakeSoft > Release : 1mdk Build Date: Thu Mar 02 10:40:41 2000 Broken. Startup script does: su - nobody -c '/usr/sbin/junkbuster /etc/junkbuster/config' & But /var/log/junkbuster is installed with permissions: [root@pc junkbuster]# rpm -qlv junkbuster ... drwxr--r-- root root 4096 Mar 2 08:40 /var/log/junkbuster ... There is no way a process started with "su - nobody" is going to be able to write into that log dir unless it was setuid root which would be silly of course. :-) b. -- Brian J.
