Re: Permissions dilemma in the /var/log/httpd directory

Have you tried setting the umask in your apache startup script?  I'm 
running on Sun Solaris and I've used ACL's to get the permissions I want.

directory
LSN: Not Relevant

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
