Sign-off for both arches.

We should check if http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15095 is fixed. On some machines, the group() option is completely ignored, on some it is only respected if it is set to a uid, not a group name.

The problem is fixed in 3.0.3, and was when syslog-ng is started, the user root not are "login" so don't have aditional groups, like log, admin, etc etc. # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) # ls -l /var/log/syslog.log ls: cannot access /var/log/syslog.log: No such file or directory # /usr/sbin/syslog-ng # ls -l /var/log/syslog.log -rw-r----- 1 root root 79 2009-07-12 02:25 /var/log/syslog.log @Allan: The uid.patch still in svn. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
