[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#596792: Reports should be created with adjustable group

[Cajus Pollmeier]

Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.0-2
Severity: whishlist
Tags: squeeze

Hi,

when using tools to analyze the puppet report files, they've to be run as root 
in order to be able to read the reports. The top level directory 
(/var/log/puppet by default) permission and ownership values seem to be 
adjustable, but the per machine directories created inside /var/log/puppet are 
owned by root:root.

$ ls -la /var/log/puppet/
total 12
drwxr-x--- 3 puppet puppet 4096 Sep 14 11:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root   root   4096 Sep 14 11:10 ..
drwxr-x--- 2 root   root   4096 Sep 14 11:12 client1.test.net

It would be nice to be able to modify this (i.e. root:adm, root:puppet).

Cheers,
Cajus
