I am a linux newbie so please don't blast me for my ignorance. I have set
up syslog-ng on my SUSE box and even managed to configure the syslog-ng.conf
so that any newcoming syslog messages are organized by IP address as a directory and a new file is created for each day. I now need to allow others to view these logs but default privileges are for owner=root and
group=root. I need all newly created directories and files to allow access
to a group named syslog that I created. Is it a matter of starting the
syslog service with different privileges or 'owner'. Currently, I'm having
to go into the syslog file structure and chgrp and chmod to my desired settings on a daily basis. I'm open to any suggestions....
