Hi,

How can i give read access to logs for other users? Perhaps the solution is to set group for this files and add some users there. But how to do that for /var/log/maillog? I mean, logrotate will reset perms? If i change group from root to another won't it generate any problems?

Actual state: -rw------- 1 root root 337M kwi 22 15:40 maillog
