Yoav, thanks for reply. Any thoughts on this comment? Scott
Yes, umasks would normally be where to look. However, I have made efforts to standardize umasks on all of our servers to open group permissions. For example, if you log in on 02 as tomcat, you'll see your umask is: > umask -S u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx Same for all other accounts. I have also set the system default for all user accounts that way. So, unless the program or script explicitly sets a umask without group write, all files created would have group write permissions. That's why I asked about log4j. -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 9:12 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: log file permissions issue unix Howdy, Not a log4j issue: this is controlled by the umask setting for the user running the JVM.
