Re: permissions

Dig around for things with names like cron.daily and cron.monthly in /etc.

If you look at the scripts, you will see things such as umask settings and
paramaters passed to the savelog command that look like -m 644.  These are
the permissions.  Edit them (but save the original line commented out or
save the original files in case you need to back out your changes).
