Yes you can fix this. mkdir /var/log/freevo chown -R freevo:freevo /var/log/freevo chmod -R g+w /var/log/freevo chmod g+s /var/log/freevo If you delete logs on a reboot you need to make sure that they have the correct permissions and that root has umask 0002. Then when root creates a file in /var/log/freevo it will have the group of freevo and will be group writeable. This is really an system administration problem, rather than freevo's or xine's because you running freevo with root and then the user freevo.
