Operating Systems AIX Syslog log file permission not getting modified. Post 302649893 by bakunin on Friday 1st of June 2012 08:22:09 AM
Old 06-01-2012
From the AIX 6.1 documentation, available here online:

Code:
[perm [mode]] is:

If destination is a regular file, and the word perm is specified it means that rotated files is
having the permission specified by mode.

At the same page there is even an example:

Code:
*.debug              /tmp/syslog.out      rotate size 100k files 4 perm 444

There is an old admin proverb: if everything else fails, read the manual.

I hope this helps.

DPNS-GETACL(1)							DPNS User Commands						    DPNS-GETACL(1)

NAME
dpns-getacl - get DPNS directory/file access control lists SYNOPSIS
dpns-getacl [-a] [-d] path... DESCRIPTION
dpns-getacl gets the Access Control List associated with a DPNS directory/file. For each path, it displays the file name, owner, the group, and the Access Control List (ACL) if present. If a directory has a default ACL, dpns-getacl also displays the default ACL. Regular files cannot have default ACLs. The output looks like: # file: filename # owner: username # group: groupname user::perm user:uid:perm group::perm group:gid:perm mask:perm other:perm default:user::perm default:user:uid:perm default:group::perm default:group:gid:perm default:mask:perm default:other:perm The first "user" entry gives the permissions granted to the owner of the file. The following "user" entries show the permissions granted to specific users, they are sorted in ascending order of uid. The first "group" entry gives the permissions granted to the group owner of the file. The following "group" entries show the permissions granted to specific groups, they are sorted in ascending order of gid. The "mask" entry is the maximum permission granted to specific users or groups. It does not affect the "owner" and "other" permissions. The "mask" entry must be present if there are specific "user" or "group" entries. "default" entries associated with a directory are inherited as access ACL by the files or sub-directories created in that directory. The umask is not used. Sub-directories also inherit the default ACL as default ACL. As soon as there is one default ACL entry, the 3 default ACL base entries (default user, default group, default other) must be present. The entry processing conforms to the Posix 1003.1e draft standard 17. path specifies the DPNS pathname. If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable. uid is displayed as the username if known else as the numeric id. gid is displayed as the groupname if known else as the numeric id. perm is expressed as a combination of characters rwx- OPTIONS
-a only display the access ACL. -d only display the default ACL. EXAMPLES
dpns-getacl /dpm/dteam/test/file.log/d2 # file: /dpm/dteam/test/file.log/d2 # owner: baud # group: c3 user::rwx group::r-x #effective:r-x other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:other::r-x EXIT STATUS
This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed. SEE ALSO
