The idea is that nobody and nogroup should be completely unprivileged, and hence should not own _anything_. Many log files belong to group adm. check_directory_perms is probably a bit too picky as it doesn't even accept group root. I probably should just arrange for a group prayer to be created and the directories assigned to it, and if you want to set check_directory_perms=TRUE you should probably do that too for now. -- Magnus Holmgren holmg...@debian.org Debian Developer
