To use one of my favorite literary quotes: Curiouser and curiouser !

Just to rule out a simple file permissions issue, I looked at the path to the 
log file:

Here's the before:

drwxr-xr-x 24 root   root   4096 Mar 19 15:54 /var
drwx------ 24 root   root   4096 May 23 04:02 /var/log
drwxr-xr-x  7 apache apache 4096 May 20 04:02 /var/log/cobbler/
-rw-r--r--  1 apache apache 1234 May 23 09:54 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log

So, I do this:
drwxrwxrwx 24 root   root   4096 Mar 19 15:54 /var
drwxr-xr-x 24 root   root   4096 May 23 04:02 /var/log
drwxrwxrwx  7 apache apache 4096 May 20 04:02 /var/log/cobbler/
-rw-rw-rw-  1 apache apache  844 May 23 09:48 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log

and the interface re-appears !

Now comes the weirdness: The interface continues to work/behave after I set the 
permissions back !
