rsyslog $FileGroup config directive fails for groups larger than a certain size
Issue
-
Create a large group with tons of users
-
Use rsyslog's
$FileGroupconfig directive to make a log file be created with that group as the owner -
If the group is larger than a certain size,
rsyslogdwill fail to resolve the group and thus the file will be created withrootas the group owner -
A message will be printed to the system log, e.g.:
Nov 12 15:46:56 dhcp153-77 rsyslogd-3003: ID for group 'biggroup' could not be found or error [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3003 ]
