Might be inheriting the umask of the parent process. Although you explicitly set it, I would take a poke at that.How is syslog-ng being started? Can you unset it or set it to 0000 before starting syslog-ng as a test?Jim Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Declan White <declanw@is.bbc.co.uk> Date: 2/9/18 12:01 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Umask funkiness Already tried directory mode 04750 - no dice. It strips the g+s. And dir-group ("group") when you aren't a member of that group probably won't fly. I just need it to not touch stuff. It can only inherit these perms. It can't make them.

Why not explicitly manage the perms/ownerships with syslog-ng itself? Eg
owner ("owner"); group ("group"); dir-owner ("owner"); dir-group ("group"); perm (0644); dir-perm (0755);

I have a directory owned by the syslog-ng user. Its group however belongs to a group of which the user is not a member. The directory is g+s, so that all files and dirs made within it inherit the group owner (and the g+s in the case of dirs).
syslog-ng is running with a umask of 022 (interrogated running process to be sure). The file("/dir/${FOO}/${BAR}") destination driver has : create-dirs(yes) perm() dir-owner() dir-group() dir-perm() i.e. "don't change any perms"
The aim of the game is to end up with files and dirs readable, but not writable, by the inherited group owner. I can't get it working. I am always ending up with drwx--S--- dirs and -rw------- files
