[Logcheck-devel] Bug#286230: logcheck: Rules directories should be setgid

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.31
Severity: normal

Logcheck requires that the rules files be mode 640, root:logcheck.
To make that easier for the admin to create valid local-* rules files,
please set the setgid bit on the rules directories.
