Hi, my logfiles all have this permission: -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 14841 10. Feb 08:52 postgresql-2009-02-10_000000.log Is it possible that postgres creates group readable files? I want to monitor this logfile, but for security I don't want to use the postgres user for this. I looked at this documentation and could not find a solution: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/runtime-config-logging.html I use this settings: log_destination = 'stderr' redirect_stderr = on Since the server is linux, I could use syslog, too. But somehow I want to stay with the defaults (SuSE). How do you check your logfiles?
