Yes, I know.
If we set the directory permissions correctly that should make sure they
are created with the same permissions as the directory.
Oh, I think I understand why you are saying. The RPM is setting an ACL
on directories so that any file created below will inherit its parent's
permissions. The RPM hasn't set an ACL on the syslog directory so we are
now dealing with unix permissions, that is, calculating the default
permissions based on the umask setting.
FWIW, umask modification isn't in cobbler anywhere.
So the fix is to track down where my umask is being changed, or to put
an ACL on this directory...
Thanks, this is what I need.
