Just some more information: I haven't modified any of the files in /etc/logrotate.d or the logrotate.conf file. Also, I ran logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf -- no errors reported. The system is completely up-to-date.
Do you have /tmp mounted with the noexec option?
If so, you may be falling over: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149270
The logrotate package in rawhide fixes that.
That's a good question: running "mount" just shows: /dev/sda3 on /tmp type ext3 (rw)
but /etc/fstab has: /dev/sda3 /tmp ext3 defaults,noexec,nosuid
So does that mean that noexec is enabled even though mount isn't showing it?
I don't know. You could always test it by creating a script in /tmp and seeing if it runs:
$ echo echo Hello > /tmp/testscript $ chmod +x /tmp/testscript $ /tmp/testscript
If noexec is set, you'll get: -bash: /tmp/testscript: Permission denied
If not, you'll get: Hello
I'd change the fstab entry to this anyway: /dev/sda3 /tmp ext3 noexec,nosuid 1 2
The "defaults" keyword is redundant if you're specifying other options.
