syslog file permission

Hi,

I have setup syslog.conf to rotate and compress a messages file but the only problem is when it creates the new log file it creates it with the following permissions -rw-r-----. I just wondered if there is anywhere where i can specify what permissions this new log file is created with so I can set other to read rather than just doing a chmod?

Thanks,

Matt

NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng. But this depends on the software selection during the installation. The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog. The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service. The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons. BUGS
