[Regression Potential]
This is just changing owner for /var/log/opal-prd.log file.
Without this fix, file won't be created and prd logs gets dropped.
I do not see any possible regression  with this fix.

Title:
  [LTCTest][OPAL][OP920] OPAL PRD generated logs is not available in
  /var/log/opal-prd.log file

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  Triaged
Status in skiboot package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in skiboot source package in Bionic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Without this fix we end up creating /var/log/opal-prd.log file with root user. Hence rsyslogd will not be able to write data to this file. Hence we will not have enough opal-prd logs for debugging.

  [Test Case]
  - Installed fixed version of opal-prd package
  - restart opal-prd daemon (systemctl restart opal-prd)
  - check whether opal-prd logs are stored in /var/log/opal-prd.log file.

  [Regression Potential]
  Nothing.

  Original description follows:

  Install a P9 Open Power Hardware with the latest OP920 Firmware images provided in the following link:

  Then check if the OPAL prd generated logs are captured in /var/log
  /opal-prd.log file.

  Notice that opal-prd.log file is owned by root user while opal-prd.log.1 is owned by syslog.
  That means someone has manually created that log file?

  I deleted opal-prd.log file and restart opal-prd daemon.

  rm /var/log/opal-prd.log

  systemctl restart opal-prd

  head /var/log/opal-prd.log

  So looks like its user error.

  Looks like logrorate stuff is creating new file with root user. Below change should fix this.

  Fred,

  Can you look into the proposed change?

  Hi all,
  thanks Vasant for the investigation. The fix looks good,
  I'm just going to check that on Debian as well.
  I'll let you know asap,

  F.
