[Logcheck-devel] Bug#330208: Mising write permisson on /var/lock/logcheck for group logcheck

[Achim Schaefer]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.41
Severity: minor

if a user is part of the group logcheck, he should be able to run
logcheck.
Currently you get this:
achim at server:~$ /usr/sbin/logcheck 
rm: too few arguments
Try `rm --help' for more information.
achim at server:~$ groups 
achim dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev logcheck
achim at server:~$ /usr/sbin/logcheck -d

achim at server:~$ ls -ld /var/lock/logcheck 
drwxr-xr-x  2 logcheck logcheck 4096 Sep 26 20:03 /var/lock/logcheck
achim at server:~$ 
after a:
achim at server:~$ logout
server:/etc/cron.d# chmod 775 /var/lock/logcheck
server:/etc/cron.d# su - achim
achim at server:~$ /usr/sbin/logcheck   
achim at server:~$

everything is fine.
