[syslog-ng]perm and dir_perm not working?

[John_Delisle@ceridian.ca]

Hi all,

I've been trying without any luck to have syslog-ng create dirs with 755
and files with 644 permissions.  I've used the following line:

destination d_devices { file("/var/log/devices/$HOST/$PRIORITY" perm(0644)
create_dirs(yes) dir_perm(0755)); };


But they are created with the permissions from my umask (022).  ie files
are 600, not 644.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? Any ideas??
