logrotate returns the following error: "skipping "/var/opt/novell/amlogging/logs/ags_error.log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation" while executing the "/etc/logrotate.d/novell-mag -> /opt/novell/nam/mag/conf/logrotate.conf"
The "/var/opt/novell/amlogging/logs/ags_error.log" file does not get rotated
