> The logrotate ContainerLogger module runs as the agent's user.  In most cases, this is {{root}}.
> When {{logrotate}} is run as root, there is an additional check the configuration files must pass (because a root {{logrotate}} needs to be secured against non-root modifications to the configuration):
> https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/blob/fe80cb51a2571ca35b1a7c8ba0695db5a68feaba/config.c#L807-L815
> Log rotation will fail under the following scenario:
> 1) The agent is run with {{--switch_user}} (default: true)
> 2) A task is launched with a non-root user specified
> 3) The logrotate module spawns a few companion processes (as root) and this creates the {{stdout}}, {{stderr}}, {{stdout.logrotate.conf}}, and {{stderr.logrotate.conf}} files (as root).  This step races with the next step.
> 4) The Mesos containerizer and Fetcher will {{chown}} the task's sandbox to the non-root user.  Including the files just created.
> 5) When {{logrotate}} is run, it will skip any non-root configuration files.  This means the files are not rotated.
> ----
> Fix: The logrotate module's companion processes should call {{setuid}} and {{setgid}}.
