/var/adm/auth.log permissions



Hi,

I notice that on more than one debian system, /var/adm/auth.log* are 
world readable.  Now, if someone logs in incorrectly, typing their 
password instead of their userid, that is a serious security risk.

Some time ago, I did change it using `chmod o=', but I notice now that 
it's back as it was: it's obviously been created again during logfile 
rotation.  How can I fix this?  Which package is it part of?

Thanks,

Nikhil.
