Hi Dan. Thanks for responding. Yes, that's true, the file is owned by the tomcat user. My mod_perl stuff runs under "apache" (the httpd user) and I have some Perl daemons that run as root. In Perl, using log4perl, I can set the owner, group, and umask of the log file for file creation. I have a reason for keeping the user IDs (apache, tomcat, root) as they are. So, what I've done is made them all part of the same group. Its the group and group permissions I need to set on the log file using FileAppender.
