Dear All,
I have tried to semplify my initial conditions: I am changing
only the thing below:
from /var/log/krb5kdc.log
to /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log
in
/etc/krb5.conf
and in
/etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf
(and restarted both services krb5-kdc and krb5-admin-server)
root@mymaster:~# grep log /etc/krb5.conf
[login]
[logging]
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
root@mymaster:~# grep log /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf
[logging]
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
I have no rotation in place (just to semplify my initial conditions):
root@mymaster:~# ls /etc/logrotate.d/ | grep krb
root@mymaster:~#
The problem is... after a while I get an empty file, i.e.
root@mymaster:~# ls -lh /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 29 12:15 /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log
The file /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log gets deleted:
root@mymaster:~# lsof | grep krb5kdc.log
krb5kdc 7941 root 3w REG 252,2 3258838
33566882 /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log (deleted)
krb5kdc 7941 root 4w REG 252,2 3258838
33566882 /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log (deleted)
tail 8006 root 3r REG 252,2 3258838
33566882 /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log (deleted)
I can still see entries coming in the command below:
"tail -f /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log"
I do not understand what I am missing. Any idea?
All the best,
Giuseppe
