[Bug 1287624] Re: Munged does not start

Semih, munge is an authentication service oftentimes used in an HPC
cluster environment. It was likely installed as a dependency when you
installed slurm. You're seeing these messages because you submitted Bug

Title:
  Munged does not start

Status in munge source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
  Munge daemon does not start in ubuntu 14.04 beta.

  sudo service munge start
   * Starting MUNGE munged                                                 [fail] 
  munged: Error: Logfile is insecure: group-writable permissions set on "/var/log"

  /var/log permissions are (I have not changed them in any way):
  drwxrwxr-x 13 root syslog 4,0K maali  4 06:40 log

  However, I can start munge manually by running "sudo munged -f", which
  runs the daemon despite warnings.
