[Robert Schweikert <rjschwei@xxxxxxxx>]

Robert Schweikert has proposed merging ~rjschwei/cloud-init:setPerm into cloud-init:master.

Requested reviews:
  cloud-init commiters (cloud-init-dev)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/337666

On SUSE distributions the neither the "adm" nor the "wheel" group are set up by default thus the user will find a warning message in the log file:

2018-02-12 17:06:33,648 - stages.py[WARNING]: Failed changing perms on '/var/log/cloud-init.log'. tried: syslog:adm,root:adm,root:wheel. Unknown user or group: 'getgrnam(): name not found: wheel'

Change the logfile permissions to root:root in the cloud-init default configuration file.
