Can you please clarify what you're attempting to do? Are you following a set of instructions from somewhere?

I'm not sure how this plugin works exactly, can you create a check_logfiles folder and assign the appropriate permissions?

[nidab]

ofcourse i did it

--------------------------

star21:/tmp#ls -l

drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 256 Dec 16 16:36 check_logfiles

Was the plugin able to write to that directory after it was created?

[nidab]
