I can always keep my logs in some place other than /var/log if this is
an issue.
IIRC it's done at boot time. Have a look at /etc/rc.d/var
Will log rotation preserve daemon ownership?
Never used the *traditional* log style with syslog-ng, I stored
everything per day/month/year/server.
I'm doing that for hosts that this is the remote syslod server for.
I'm using
/var/log/HOSTS/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FACILITY-$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
for everything coming from the udp source. I suppose I could just add
"localhost" under HOSTS to do a similar destination for everything
else, though there I would probably have FACILITY be the major
categorization
"localhost" will be created automatically by syslog-ng (although it'll
probably use the hosts fqdn).
I ended up running syslog-ng as root, which is probably a bad idea as
well, so I cannot give you any advice on this one.
It sounds like using something other than /var/log for a destination
makes the most sense.
No, it's enough to grant daemon write permissions in /var/log/HOSTS.
Since you're using the $DAY macro, you won't need log rotation anyway.
