Re: [webmin-l] Webmin fails to configure logrotate using existing permissions

[Joaquim H. <jo...@we...>]

You may be right ... but the manpage (at least for me) shows this:

create mode owner group, create owner group

               Immediately  after rotation  (before the postrotate 
script is run) the log file is created (with the same name as
               the log file just rotated).  mode specifies the mode for 
the log file in octal (the same as chmod(2)), owner spec‐
               ifies  the  user name who will own the log file, and 
group specifies the group the log file will belong to. Any of
               the log file attributes may be omitted, in which case 
those attributes for the new file will use the  same  values
               as the original log file for the omitted attributes. This 
option can be disabled using the nocreate option.


And I don't see any "create" instruction in there. But maybe one of the 
other options imply "create"?
