It's intentional behaviour.
So that the admin can read the log file without logging as root. See the other log files (auth.log, boot, daemon.log, debug, dmesg, kern.log, messages, syslog, user.log). The log files that have the root group are readable by everyone. Is there any reason why monit should behave differently? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
