Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.4.2-1+deb8u1
Severity: grave
Hi,
some time ago I was affected by a really nasty bug. I tried to start a new
X session to login as a new user but did not remember how to do so (from
an XFCE session). So I ended up calling X as root and this was a big problem:
This started a Gnome session which I stopped immediately (I wanted a new
X login session). Nevertheless I was not able to work on my system
because I got very fast out of free disk space. The following files
got bigger and bigger containing many GB after a few minutes:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/user.log
They were filled with messages like: ("Keine Berechtigung.": German for "no
permission").

I do not remember that I ever changed the config files of rsyslog. Just in case
it is dconf's fault, I used version 0.22.0-1.
