[wellylug] cgi script question

[Mark Signal]

Actually it appears both the /var and /var/log were world readable but 
the /var/log/httpd  was not so I did a chmod 755 on httpd and it all now 
works

The log files themselves were already world readable.

Is anything likely to re write these directory permissions  during log 
rotations etc?

Thanks for answering.

cheers

Mark
