I'll try it - but aside from my curiosity about what's causing this, it's not a high priority item (at least until I finish lots of other things I want to fix on my system), since as I wrote at the beginnng of this thread, a cron job to **fix** the permissions regularly solves the problem.
> logrotate runs daily, not weekly, BTW. I do know that. What I wrote was that: 1 - this particular log is rotated weekly 2 - the permission change occurs randomly - sometimes more than once a day For those two reasons, I came to the conclusion that logrotate is not the cause. > Maybe the script that runs the relevant service does some chmods?

Basicly, it pings my provider and if he's **dead** calls another script to kill pptp and restart it again + appropriate messages to the log, which as you already know is not really an **official** log - just a text file I created. -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail (KDE 3.0.3) on LINUX Mandrake 9.0 ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
