Hi,

Quoting logrotate.conf(5):

logrotate 3.8.1 expects:
> create mode owner group

logrotate 3.8.5 allows for:
> create mode owner group, create owner group

Were you perhaps trying to use the new syntax with old logrotate?

Typically you would put analysers in the 'adm' group, which has group
read permissions on most log files.  That way you don't have to make
your log files readable to everyone on the system.
