When using newsyslog to upkeep a file on a nfs mount the existing file is rotated properly, but the new file has a large UID (User ID) which does not correspond to any user. The next time the program that updates the log runs, it fails because the file is 644 so only the owner can write to it. I tried specifying a User:Group on the /etc.newsyslog.conf file and that did not help. Ultimately I set the file to be cleaned by the newsyslog of the nfs server, but from an administrative point of view I would prefer to have the newsyslog be run from the same machine as the program creating/updating the log To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
