Hi group

When I make my auth.log file world-readable (big security risk), the
system reverts it to unreadable by world.  Could someone tell me what
kind program/daemon is changing the permissions back and if said
daemon has a log somewhere. I would like to shake its hand. something
out of cron?

This is Arch running in a hosted VM environment.

Thanks

in /etc/syslog-ng.conf

-destination d_authlog { file("/var/log/auth.log"); };
+destination d_authlog { file("/var/log/auth.log" perm(0644)); };

good luck!
