Betreff: inconsistent permission on log files

Hi,

The logrotate entry for munin-node.log contains:

        copytruncate
        create 640 munin adm

However, according to logrotate(8),


        When this [copytruncate) option is
        used, the create option will have no effect, as the old log file
        stays in place.

Actually, the create option seems to have an effect on the rotated log files
munin-node.log.X.gz. Since the log file itself is own by root:root with mode
644, it results in different owner/group/modes for the log file itself and its
rotated version. This is no big deal, but it just looks odd, so you may want 
to
rationalise this.

Thanks,
Manuel.

PS : munin-node version 1.4.5-3 on a squeeze box.
