--FAIL-- [logf005f] Log file /var/log/btmp permission should be 660
OK, now how do I even find out what package /var/log/btmp belongs to
in order to tell them about the problem? dlocate? No.
/var/log/btmp logs 'bad login' attempts and is read by /usr/bin/lastb (part
of the sysvinit package). It has the same format as /var/log/(utmp|wtmp).
Various packages seem to write to them (hence the need for write perms for
the utmp group. I don't think any package owns the log file...
I presume the permissions are documented by Policy somewhere but I'm not sure
where to find it. (Perhaps it's in the LSB?)
FWIW the perms on /var/log/btmp on my boxes are 664:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 0 2006-06-01 00:34 /var/log/btmp
