[Bug 1169404] [NEW] munin_stats fails due to being run as nobody

[Will Bryant]

Public bug reported:

The munin_stats plugin stopped working after upgrading from Lucid to
Precise, now giving these errors:

UNKNOWNs: munin update is unknown: Can’t open /var/log/munin/munin-
update.log for reading, munin graph is unknown: Can’t open
/var/log/munin/munin-graph.log for reading.

The root cause is that the /var/log/munin directory and its logfiles are
not other-readable, but the plugin is now by default run as nobody.

To fix could the following please be added to the default /etc/munin
/plugin-conf.d/munin-node:

[munin_stats]
user munin
