-------------------------------------
    Attachment: LOG4J2-1699.patch

Hello Team,

I have tried to implement posix user, group and permissions in the attached 
patch within the FileManager hierarchy.

Please review and correct me if something wrong.
Done a simple test for permissions on posix systems only although I dont know 
how to unit test user and group.
Also I am not sure if FileOutputStream create the file on all jvm 
implementation, tested on .

NB: this feature was also required in a [stackoverflow

 question

> We would like to hear the communities thoughts on being able to configure the 
> permissions log files are created with. We don't want to rely on UMASK 
> because we have managed services who's process should generate logs with a 
> 644 yet deployed applications by users should default to a 640 because the 
> logs may contain sensitive information.
> We will make the modification and set this in the properties file. Now we are 
> looking to see what the community position would be on accepting such a 
> patch, we don't want to be patching our own distribution indefinitely.
