i want to use root-tail as user on certain log files, like messages. but syslog-ng always makes them root:root/600, so i can't automatically startup root-tail with X. i need to login as root... is there a way to change the mask and ownership of logfiles permanently? e.g. root:wheel/640?

I have the following in my syslog-ng.conf for tenshi:
| Code: | | destination messages { file("/var/log/messages" owner("root") group("tenshi") perm(0640)); }; |
