Permissions dilemma in the /var/log/httpd directory

[Mukarram Syed <muksyed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Here is my dilemma and I'd appreciate some help.
Apache has been configured and is running fine.  But other users need read permissions to the /var/log/httpd directory.
Before I implemented cronolog (www.cronolog.org), I forced a permissions change to 755 in the startup script for the /var/log/httpd directory.  After I implemented cronolog this does not work, since cronolog automatically changes permissions to 400.
Is there a way to force permissions to 644 at least in the httpd.conf file and keep it that way even after cronolog rotates logs.
I could implement chmod -R 755 /var/log/httpd via cron at midnight, but this is a crude way of doing thing.  I hope there is a better, elegant way, via Apache.

I again appreciate any inputs to this.

thanks
