Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.69-9+lenny4
Tags: patch
I just did the exim4 security update and it reset the permissions of
my /var/log/exim4 to 600, due to this in the postinst:
install -d -oDebian-exim -gadm -m2750 /var/log/exim4
On my system the policy is that the logs are supposed to be readable.
I suggest this patch, as a band-aid.
Ian.
