[users@httpd] Apache 1.3.34 log file permission

[Andrew Zeon <an...@au1.ibm.com>]

Hi all,

This question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but I 
cannot seem to get a straight answer.

I have apache 1.3.34 installed on Solaris 8. Apache is run as root. The 
umask for root is 077 because of a security standard. Our logs (error and 
access logs) are being generated with the following permission:

-rw-------   1 root     root

I need this to be rwr--r--. What determines the permission of the log 
files? Is it the umask? I read in some forums about setting sticky bits to 
overcome this?

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Adjust the umask as part of your apache startup script (apachectl).
