Eu baixei recentemente o Metasploit e tentei rodá-lo digitando msfconsole, mas eu entendi:
** Welcome to Metasploit Framework Initial Setup **
Please answer a few questions to get started.
Would you like to use and setup a new database (recommended)? (I put Yes)

Rails Error: Unable to access log file. Please ensure that /home/jackattack/.msf4/logs/production.log exists and is writable (ie, make it writable for user and group: chmod 0664 /home/jackattack/.msf4/logs/production.log). The log level has been raised to WARN and the output directed to STDERR until the problem is fixed.

Esse problema pode ser que seu arquivo .msf4/database.yml pertence a outro usuário (provavelmente root, você executou o metasploit como root antes?)
Você pode verificar a propriedade com ls -l ~/.msf4 .
Se você quiser alterá-lo, execute chown -R $(whoami) ~/.msf4 (suponha que você tenha efetuado login como jackattack )
