RollingFileAppender log file permissions - Mono

[Tim Nelson <TN...@epicor.com>]

My ASP.Net Web services are running fine and logging on Mono using the RollingFileAppender.  However, right now the log files are being created owned by apache:apache with -rw------- permissions.  I'd like to have log4net generate log files with -rw-r------ (meaning anyone in the apache group could read the file.

Is there a way to do this in log4net?

I'm afraid there isn't.

All log4net does is invoking the FileStream-constructor (the four-arg
version) and I don't think the FileShare (which is FileShare.Read by
default) should have any influence on the permissions.  Probably it is
the umask of the apache user that determines them.
