[jira] [Created] (TS-4383) Insufficient permissions to read logs from ASCII_PIPE

David Calavera created TS-4383:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Insufficient permissions to read logs from ASCII_PIPE
                 Key: TS-4383
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4383
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: David Calavera


Traffic Server creates a unix pipe to read logs from using the option `ASCII_PIPE` in the log_xml configuration.

This is the problem with the current privileges:

1. The owner of the pipe is "nobody".
2. The group of the pipe is "nogroup".
3. The permissions to access the pipe are these: "prw-------"

With the current permissions the pipe is completely useless because there is no way to attach a process for reading.

I think the best approach would be to let group and others to read from the pipe, setting the privileges like this: "prw-r--r--".

I opened a pull request to fix this problem: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/595
