Re: [opennms-bugs] OpenNMS log rotation problem

Hi!

I don't like to correct me, but:

xcnlm02s:/var/log # chmod 02775 opennms
xcnlm02s:/var/log # cd opennms
xcnlm02s:/var/log/opennms # touch x
xcnlm02s:/var/log/opennms # l
total 8
drwxrwsr-x  2 wwwrun root 4096 Dec 18 21:37 ./
drwxr-xr-x 10 root   root 4096 Dec 18 14:17 ../
-rw-rw----  1 wwwrun root    0 Dec 18 21:09 actiond.log
[...]
-rw-rw----  1 root   root    0 Dec 18 21:09 x

seems not to work really reliably...
