Cron sends me and my friends the following error message:
Code:

How can I change this?

Error: Could not set owner using / var / log / portage / elog / summary. log- 20110717.gz: Operation prohibited
How can I fix this?
By adding this line
Code:
su portage portage
appears in / etc / logrotate your.d / elog-save-summary …
Code:
$ / etc / logrotate cat.d / elog-save-summary # Copyright 1999-2011 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the GNU General Public License v2. # Rotate this particular log generated by the Elog module save_summary.
/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log  su portage portage Missing good Do not create    compression delay
He seems to suggest it. Anything else wrong?

Seems to be yes. Something is wrong?
Of course, you should also look for / var / log / portage / elog / in the permissions

You also need to check the permissions on the / var / log system / portage / elog /
Code:
$ mark vii -ld / var / log / portage root key drwxr-xr-x 3 4096 June 10, 2010 / var / log / portage $ ls -ld / var / log / portage / elog drwxrws — Portage root directory number 4096 July 24 20:00 / var / log / portage / elog
Are they correct?
