[blfs-support] logfile permission and logrotate

[Wolfgang Winkler via blfs-support]

Hi all,

I'm wondering about owner/group and permission settings of /var/log/*

During LFS 8.3 chapter 6.6 we create
btmp (root:root, 600),
lastlog (root:utmp, 664),
faillog (root:root, 644) and
wtmp (root:root, 644).
All the other basic log files (sys.log, kern,log, daemon.log, etc.) I
assume were created when syslog is run the first time and all have
ownership/permission root:root, 644.

When I install and run logrotate according to instructions in BLFS 8.3
new files after rotation will get different permissions:
wtmp will now be root:utmp, 664 and
lastlog root:sys, 664
The default setting for all other log files would be root:sys, 664
Actually there seems to be a slight inconsistency in the default create
instruction and the comment text just above (664 vs. 664).

Could please somebody point out what the default/correct log file
ownership and permission for lfs should be ?

Thanks,
Wolfgang
