umurmurd exits (no error/warning) during wrong file permissions #44

@GoogleCodeExporter

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Specify a log-file
2. _umurmur is not the owner of the file
3. just the owner has write permissions

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

umumur simply exists where it should check if

1. The file exists
2. It can access it with write permissions.

umurmur currently lacks such a check and simply exists without any 
warning/error so it is hard to debug. I strumbled over it after I removed the 
"logfile" and umurmurd worked as exspected. I added the option back and it 
simply exists right after the start so I checked the file permissions in 
/var/log and the logfile was owned by root. I changed the permissions to 
_umurmur and since then the server works.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Lates Version and OpenBSD 5.5 on AMD64.

Please provide any additional information below.

Please do see above.


Kind regards,
Sebastian Rother
