Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-2
Severity: normal
I ran into a very enigmatic problem when tried to run logrotate on my
server: no matter what postrotate script I specified, the program gave
me an error. It was completely unusable, since it only said "error,
blablabla, cannot run postrotate script", but didn't gave me the
specific error code.
After some digging it turned out that logrotate tries to run scripts in
/tmp which is mounted with the noexec option on this system (and I think
all security-conscious admin would do this, too). However, I cannot
imagine why it does this, since the script in question resides in
/usr/local/sbin - ???
The workaround is of course to set up the TMPDIR environment variable to
a proper value, but it is not documented anywhere in logrotate's
manpage. It doesn't show up in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate , either.
This would be a minor problem, but it's quite irritating and the
solution is not so obvious, that's why I gave it a normal severity.
The system is a Debian Sarge (3.1), fresh install.
Keep up the good work guys! :)
Regards,
Gabor
