Re: [arch-general] Read permissions on /var/log/auth.log being reverted
Wow, didn't know syslog did all that. I won't be changing the permissions though, but now have more to learn. Thanks a bunch.

[arch-general] Read permissions on /var/log/auth.log being reverted
Hi group When I make my auth.log file world-readable (big security risk), the system reverts it to unreadable by world. Could someone tell me what kind program/daemon is changing the permissions back and if said daemon has a log somewhere. I would like to shake its hand. something out of cron? This is Arch running in a hosted VM environment. Thanks E Wilson (New Linux and Arch User)
