Has anyone investigated what would be necessary to get a non-root syslogd working under Debian? It seems like this would be a good thing, but obviously there have to be some tricky bits, else it would have happened already. :) It seems like the steps would be: Add a user for syslog to run as. chown /var/log to be syslog.adm Modify logrotate configs to set ownership properly. It looks like syslogd, syslog-ng, etc would have to be patched to setup /dev/log and open UDP 514, then setuid to the syslog user. Is this worth working on? Has anybody already done this? M
