Greetings all;
I would like to convert a utility so it can run as a normal user.
However, this normal user has no write perms to /var/log and therefore
cannot generate its log file.
Whats the normal procedure in this case, make that user a member of the
group disk?, or make a subdir in /var/log this user then owns?
I can do either, the latter easier than trying to figure out chmod from
its obtuse manpage.
Does the log file have to be in /var/log? If this is being run as a user,
couldn't the appropriate conf file set the log path to a home directory? I
know that some applications do this.
This sounds like a better approach to me, as well.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
