how to modify file roles of /var/lib/rsyslog/imjournal.state?

Posted by guangjian@reddit | linuxadmin | View on Reddit | 2 comments

default role is -rw-rw---- 1 root root 128 Oct 17 19:33 imjournal.state, which is 660, I can not modify it to 600, what is requirment from customer. I try use comand chmod 0600 imjournal.state, but not work.

This sounds like an XY problem -- what is the actual problem the customer is trying to solve? root:root 0660 should be functionally identical to root:root 0600 unless there are some other accounts members of the group root, which is... deeply weird.

That being said, see the FileCreateMode parameter of the imjournal module documentation. The default value is 0644, which means that your distribution either specified it in the rsyslog configuration explicitly, or patched the source.

yes, your are correct. And can I mask imjournal module in rsyslog?
