[Bug 407862] Re: [karmic] Messages not being sent to system logs

[George Klein]

@Gigglesworth, I'm still suffering the same problem as stated above at
#42.  For now I've just set all group configs to syslog.  I did hit
another problem which was all my own work though which might be relevant
to you.  As you'll see from the dynamic file template above, rsyslog
should create a new directory /var/log/<mm> as the month changes.  This
didn't work for me but that was simply because rsyslog was running as
syslog:syslog but /var/log was root:root 0755.  That at least was clear
once I thought to look.

To save anyone else doing this other test (with apologies to Michael for
not simply accepting your statement) I also tested if it made any
difference putting user syslog in supplementary group syslog.  I
couldn't see any difference for rsyslog although as an interactive user
I couldn't chgrp a file to a group I wasn't a member of.
