Bug#900586: rsyslog: systemd Service File Update Breaks logrotate

[Dave Sp]

Diff is attached.

Interesting; it looks like I should be using
"/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate" instead of "invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate >
/dev/null".  I'll try that.

Bug#900586: rsyslog: systemd Service File Update Breaks logrotate

[Dave Sp]

Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.34.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Between rsyslog package versions 8.24.0-1 and 8.34.0-1, after "logrotate" runs, 
new "/var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/messages" files are created but ignored; 
their sizes are 0 bytes, and rsyslogd continues writing to "/var/log/syslog.1" 
and "/var/log/messages.1".

Comparing rsyslog package versions 8.24.0-1 and 8.34.0-1, the ExecStart line in 
file "/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service" changed from 
"ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n" to "ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE".

Apparently, this change breaks log-rotate functionality.  In 
"/etc/init.d/rsyslog", when the function "do_rotate()" is changed from

   do_rotate() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec 
$DAEMON
   }

to

   do_rotate() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --quiet --exec $DAEMON
   }

(removing "--pidfile $PIDFILE"), the log files rotate as expected.

In "/etc/init.d/rsyslog", the functions "do_start()" and "do_stop()" also use 
the "--pidfile" argument, options which, based on the change to 
"/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service", may no longer be needed.  The package 
maintainer can best determine whether or not those functions also need to be 
changed.

Bug#631580: samhain: Samhain no longer runs as daemon; has to run in foreground

[Dave Sp]

Package: samhain
Version: 2.6.2-2
Severity: important

After Testing upgrade of the kernel to linux-image-2.6-amd64 2.6.39+35.1, 
Samhain no longer runs as a daemon.
Running /usr/sbin/samhain -D results in Samhain running for a few seconds 
then exiting with a zero return code.
Running /usr/sbin/samhain --foreground --forever works, but obviously that 
won't make init scripts happy.
