Hi All,

If the file permission is not specified in syslog-ng.conf file then it uses the file permission as default which is 600 .

I noticed it and want to confirm this behavior of syslog-ng .

Yes, 0600 is the default value for perm.

Also if we define the permission as perm(644) in options tag of syslog-ng.conf then does that permission is set for all the files ?

Yes. if a destination file lacks perm() it "inherits" the global setting. -- Bazsi
