what is the default value in logrotate.conf

Question

In /etc/logrotate.conf is user permission different between Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 releases?

#use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group
#of /var/log/syslog.
su root syslog

or

#use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group
#of /var/log/syslog.
su  root adm

The question is totally unclear. There is no logrotate.config file, there is /etc/logrotate.conf. So what is the question? What version of Ubuntu toy are asking about? — Pilot6, Nov 14 '21 at 20:00
i edited it ..... and my question is about the configuration or options included in it..... in some version it's like that # use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group
of /var/log/syslog.

su root syslog but i found it in other version

use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group

of /var/log/syslog.

su root adm is that normal ?? — User.., Nov 14 '21 at 20:07
What are "some" versions that you mention? Where did you find logrotate.config? — Pilot6, Nov 14 '21 at 20:29

In Ubuntu 18.04 the permissions in /etc/logrotate.conf are

su root syslog

In 20.04 it is

su root adm

You've noticed it yourself.

i want to make sure about it .... second point why it is different ? – User.. Nov 14 '21 at 20:54
I have no idea why. It is either an upstream change of the logrotate package, or an Ubuntu change. – Pilot6 Nov 14 '21 at 20:57
It is an Ubuntu change. This user asked the same question in Server Fault and I answered it there. – Paul Nov 14 '21 at 22:27
yes ... thank you – User.. Nov 15 '21 at 16:07
