xorg-chmod, chflags

[feriz]

Hi,
i played a little with chmod and chflags on /var/log and now when try to start xorg, get a message.

"Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old")".

Can someone help me what to do now .

Hi,

Can you give me the result of this command :

$ ls -lod /var/log

ls -lod /var/log
drwxr-x---   3 root   wheel   sappnd 512 Sep 22 21:16 /var/log

I dunno how you expect to rotate log files when you can only append to them . . .

That said, a simple # chflags -R 0 /var/log should unset everything in there.

I suppose # chflags -R nosappnd /var/log would work as well.

This is assuming you're not at a kern.securelevel>0, in which case you'd have to go into single user mode to revert.
