I have created a private newsyslog.conf with this contents:
-----8<-----
/var/tmp/foo foo:mail 600 7 * @T00 ZBCN
/var/tmp/bar bar:mail 600 7 * @T00 ZBCN
-----8<-----
Without creating by hand /var/tmp/{foo,bar} this command fail leaving the
temporary mkstemp /var/tmp/{foo,bar}.zXXXXXX (with XXXXXX variable):
# cd /var/tmp
# newsyslog -vvvvv -F -C -f /usr/local/etc/rotatemailbackup.conf
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/foo]
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/bar]
/var/tmp/foo <7Z>: does not exist -> will create.
newsyslog: can't fchmod temp file '/var/tmp/foo.z8FjDcW': Bad file descriptor
# newsyslog -vvvvv -F -CC -f /silos/usr/local/etc/rotatemailbackup.conf
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/foo]
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/bar]
/var/tmp/foo <7Z>: does not exist -> will create.
newsyslog: can't fchmod temp file '/var/tmp/foo.zyXVe1U': Bad file descriptor
But it works if I manually 'touch' both {foo,bar}
# touch foo bar
# newsyslog -vvvvv -F -C -f /silos/usr/local/etc/rotatemailbackup.conf
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/foo]
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/bar]
/var/tmp/foo <7Z>: --> trimming log....
--> [freeing entry for /var/tmp/foo]
/var/tmp/bar <7Z>: --> trimming log....
--> [freeing entry for /var/tmp/bar]
# newsyslog -vvvvv -F -CC -f /silos/usr/local/etc/rotatemailbackup.conf
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/foo]
--> [creating entry for /var/tmp/bar]
/var/tmp/foo <7Z>: --> trimming log....
--> [freeing entry for /var/tmp/foo]
/var/tmp/bar <7Z>: --> trimming log....
--> [freeing entry for /var/tmp/bar]
It also fails if I remove the mandatory "C" flag from config file.
So, how the -C and C parameters are supposed to works?
NB: this happens on both 4.8 and recent -CURRENT and only when user:group
are specified...
