What I meen is, that the logs could be have another group-permission,
but not another user-permission. On my server I have an user which is in
the adm group and need to read the logfiles. If the server restarts from
the init-script, the group will be changed to the group ntp, and the
user can not read the log-files.
"chown -R ntp:$LOG_GROUP /var/log/ntpstats" in init.d/ntp could
dissolving this problem.
Thanks.
