cron & file permissions



Howdy,

    I've a cron job run daily from /etc/crontab,
the entry looks like this:
0 2 * * *       root    [ -d /mc/bin ] && /mc/bin/daily;

/mc/bin/daily sets umask
umask 037                       #   save files rw owner, group read only

then runs a script like so:
[ -e /mc/bin/secure ] && /mc/bin/secure 2>&1 | tee /root/sysstats/secure.log ;

but the permissions on secure.log come out 600:
root@/deb60:~> ls -l sysstats/secure.log
-rw------- 1 root root 67832 Jul 18 02:01 sysstats/secure.log

What do I need to do to make secure.log permissions come out 640?

Thanks,
Mike
