For the record...on all of my CentOS 5 and 5.1 boxes it stuck with the modified group.

Can you give us all some details on how do to that?

	
	
	Sure!
	Here is the default script from Centos5.1 with the chmod command:
	
	       #/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
	       #!/bin/sh
	       /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
	       EXITVALUE=$?
	       if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
	           /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with
	[$EXITVALUE]"
	       fi
	       /bin/chmod 755 /var/log/messages
	       exit 0
	
	Notice that this makes /var/log/messages world readable. :-O
	
	But I digress. :-)
	
	Best,

	mangling.
