tag 608491 + patch done Hi again,
I've managed to rebuild syslog-ng on kfreebsd-i386 with my previous patch applied to properly test it. syslog-ng now sets file permissions on log files appropriately to the configuration setting of perm(), or otherwise 0600 if it wasn't defined. The patched version is still working as expected on Linux amd64. The new mode is used when a log file is created or has new data written to it; files that were mistakenly set mode 0xffff will be fixed by upgrading. But if any files don't have new data written to them, or were already moved out of the way by logrotate, those will unavoidably keep the buggy 0xffff setuid+setgid mode. If using create_dirs(yes) in syslog-ng.conf (disabled by default in Debian), the same bug was causing newly-created directories to have mode 0xffff. My patch fixed this too, now using the configuration setting of dir_perm(), or otherwise 0700 if it wasn't defined. Directories that have already been created by syslog-ng are never chmod'd again, so won't be automatically fixed by this patch.
