[syslog-ng]perm and dir_perm not working?

[Brian E. Seppanen]

I had something similar happen.  I wanted my dir perms to be -rw-r----
(640), and they would always be (644).  I edited my
/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng start up script (substitute your flavor of
unixes start up script here)  edit the umask in the startup script and you
should be good to go.  In my start up script 037 is my umask.  I just
included the following in my startup script

umask 037

Hope that helps.
