Public bug reported:
In focal, /etc/logrotate.conf contains:
su root adm
logrotate does not rotate files in /var/log:
error: skipping "/var/log/syslog" because parent directory has insecure
permissions
(It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su"
directive
in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for
rotation.
Parent directory permissions:
drwxrwxr-x 9 root syslog 4096 Apr 29 17:17 log
** Affects: logrotate (Ubuntu)
