Christian described is actually a major problem in our project. I
think it would be a great idea to permit specification of the file
mode via the configuration.
Ok, I have nothing against adding Christian's patch :) Just
interesting to hear Curt's view on this issue since log4j does not
have this feature.
Curt: Do you have anything to add?

I'm subscribed to the list, so you don't need to cc me.
I think the lack of the feature in log4j is due to the lack of a
portable API for setting file permissions in Java. log4net may have
more access to OS-level features and might have insight here. I'll
ask them for comments. I browsed the log4net code and didn't see any
obvious hook for setting file permissions. The could nest a
<securityContext> element as a child of FileAppender and maybe that
participates. I don't think log4cxx has anything.
