[syslog-ng]perm and dir_perm not working?

[John_Delisle@ceridian.ca]

I should mention I've tried this running syslog-ng 1.4.10, 1.4.11, 1.5.5a.
On linux kernel 2.4.1, gcc 2.95.2, glibc 2.2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

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??
