Public bug reported:
On a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, I found the following odd
permissions:
/var/log/mysql/error.log -rw-rw---- mysql adm
It is highly unusual for a logfile to have group write permission, even
more so for the 'adm' group. It is possible this could be fixed by
adjusting the umask in the upstart job to use '027', but this may break
other things. Alternatively, though less clean, change the group to be
the same as the owner (ie mysql), though an administer would not be able
to view the file without sudo/su.
In Hardy, all mysql log files had proper permissions like so:
/var/log/mysql.log -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm
This is not release critical, but should be fixed.
