[Mailman-Developers] Problem with log files perms.

[Guillaume Rousse]

I'm the maintainer of mandrake mailman package. I have a bug report 
about wrong perms for logs files, see:
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9319

Even if I changed layout drastically to achieve FHS compliance, this 
kind of problem is quite curious. Those files are created at run-time, 
and I guess the various scripts take care of ensuring correct perms, 
whereas group ownership is ensured by the setgid bit for the log 
directory. For instance, smtp and qrunner log files are OK. So, what 
could have get wrong here ?
