newsyslog does not seem to preserve the ownership of files.
For example:
-rw------- 1 daemon 11844 Jul 20 14:30 log
|
V
-rw------- 1 root 11 Jul 20 14:35 log
-rw------- 1 daemon 11844 Jul 20 14:35 log.0
This is inconvenient for daemon processes generating log files.
Perhaps another field in /etc/newsyslog.conf indicating the owner
of the file.
