What about the rotated files?
If you know their exact names ..., why not also %ghost them?
The local admin could have made changes to the logrotate rules.
Right, that was my point in mentioning rotated logs. The admin could
have set the number of kept logs to 20. So, the question is why should
1 file be ghosted when you have this open ended rotate question?
Thats a real good point. No package pwning^H^H^H^H^H^H owning any
logfiles in /var/log/ sounds more and more reasonable. Directories there
are a different matter as they clearly are connected to a specific package.
Read ya, Phil
I always understood that /var/log was supposed to be write-only by the
respective applications, while other tools like logrotate and logwatch
allowed processing activities.
It seems inappropriate to me to have a RPM package remove logs that from
its perspective were supposed to be write-only?
