Re: "bird -p" creates log file owned by root

Hello!

I found the cause.  /lib/systemd/system/bird.service includes the line "ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/bird -p", and if the log file doesn't exist, it creates it owned by root:root

root@rs1:/etc/bird# rm /var/log/bird/bird.log root@rs1:/etc/bird# /usr/sbin/bird -p root@rs1:/etc/bird# ls -l /var/log/bird/bird.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 24 11:07 /var/log/bird/bird.log

The documentation for the -p flag states:

       -p            Just parse the config file and exit. Return value is zero if the config file is valid, nonzero if there are some errors.

So it seems like a bug that it creates the log file.

Yes, I confirm that this is a bug. We'll fix that. Thank you for your investigation and report. Maria
