Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Server
After you install the package the /var/log/arno-iptables-firewall logfile is
not present yet.
The first time you launch the script, it writes some message to the above
logfile and creates it with these privileges.
# ls -l /var/log/arno-iptables-firewall
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 okt 10 18:23 /var/log/arno-iptables-firewall
The rsyslogd (/etc/rsyslog.d/arno-iptables-firewall.conf) is using the same
logfile, but rsyslogd is not running with root privileges and can't write
messages to above logfile.
On this server the rsyslogd is running with syslog user privileges.
Workaround that I have used to solve the problem:
chown syslog:adm /var/log/arno-iptables-firewall && chmod 640
/var/log/arno-iptables-firewall
Second problem is the rsyslogd configuration file order. There is
/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf after /etc/rsyslog.d/arno-iptables-
firewall.conf rsyslog configuration file then all messages are stored
multiple times in other logfiles. Tipically in /var/log/kernlog and
/var/log/syslog file.
Workaround that I have used to solve the problem:
mv /var/log/arno-iptables-firewall /var/log/20-arno-iptables-firewall &&
systemctl restart arno-iptables-firewall.service
** Affects: arno-iptables-firewall (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Package changed: freeipa (Ubuntu) => arno-iptables-firewall (Ubuntu)
