file permissions in /var/log
Hi all
What should be the permissions of the log files located in /var/log?
Where could I find out such a thing if something has changed
unexpectedly / unintendedly?
I am unsure because I think I *might* have changed some permissions
with my logrotate.conf.
This is what I have currently:
# ls -lR /var/log
