Yes, this change is needed. A root:adm owned directory with mode 2750 gives root the permission to read and write to that directory and the group adm to read. Thanks to setgid, files written to the directory by root:root processes are stored as root:adm. The samba package does the (nearly) same and overrides the lintian warning: ==================================================== # This is on purpose to hide sensitive information samba-common: non-standard-dir-perm var/log/samba/ 0750 != 0755 ==================================================== -- Benjamin Drung System Developer ProfitBricks GmbH - The IaaS-Company Greifswalder Str. 207 D - 10405 Berlin Mail: benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com Fax: +49 30 577 008 598 URL: http://www.profitbricks.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin.
