An a redhat box I have root, apache and other normal users run code that uses the logging module to write to the same log file. Since umasks are set to 2 or 022 this gets permission errors.
I have fixed my issue by patching the logging code everywhere there is an open for write with: try: old_umask = os.umask(0) # open for write here finally: os.umask(old_umask) Is there a better way to solve this issue? Are there any security problems with this solution other than the log file not being protected? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
