The default permissions on the /var/log/Xorg.n.log file are 644.  I need all my

runs gdm-binary which starts up Xorg.  However, I have not been able to get the
permissions to change on the log or the logs in /var/log/gdm which are opened by
the Xorg process.

Is there any way to change the permissions on these log files?

Sorry, but looking in the code, the Xserver has a hardcoded umask(022)
call right before creating the log file in hw/xfree86/common/xf86Init.c .
