For the record: With the current kernel it is sufficient to change $KLogPath to /proc/kmsg (in /etc/rsyslog.conf); it already does the right thing of starting as root, opening the fds, and dropping privs only afterwards (I get a fully working kern.log).
So the only thing we need to add there is the check if reading as user is allowed, and if it's not, to not drop privileges. -- Drop the dd process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
