If I can offer my $0.02, I recently solved such a problem on SuSE Linux with apache logs. I used the ACL support on ext3 to give a specific group read-only access: cd /var/log # Add an ACL for the 'www' user setfacl -m u:www:r-x apache2 setfacl -m u:www:r-- apache2/* # Modify the default ACL so that new files get 'r' for user setfacl -d -m u:www:r-- apache2 Just pointing out that this problem is solvable on systems that support ACLs w/o patching postgres. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
