[munin-users] iostat-ios: No access to PLUGSTATE

[Gabriele P. <gp...@di...>]

Hi,

I installed the new version of Munin 1.3.4

Plugin iostat_ios wants to write a Plugstate-File:
use constant STATEFILE => '/var/opt/munin/plugin-state/iostat-ios.state';

Owner of directory /var/opt/munin/plugin-state/ is:
# ls -ld /var/opt/munin/plugin-state/
drwxrwxr-x 2 munin munin 4096 Mar 22 15:21 /var/opt/munin/plugin-state/

Errors in munin-node.log:
can't create /var/opt/munin/plugin-state/iostat-ios.state: Permission denied 
at /etc/opt/munin/plugins/iostat_ios line 162
2008/03/22-15:24:28 [8189] Plugin "iostat_ios" exited with status 
3328. --dev104_0_rtime.value 0\n dev104_0_wtime.value 0.0254642656162071\n

dev253_2_rtime.value 0\n dev253_2_wtime.value 0.064712389380531\n--

Setting user munin for the plugin execution, solves this issue.

[iostat_ios]
user munin

But I am not sure, wether this is the best solution.
What do you say?

Cheers,
Gabriele
