Re: SunOS newsyslog bug

I was surprise to see that in SunOS (4.1.3 and U1) the command /usr/lib/newsyslog do a 'chmod 666' on the $LOG (= syslog) file he just created.
A bigger problem I have noticed is that the file is setup (by default) to run at 4:05 am Sat morning by root - but it is owned by bin. With that 'problem' and a combination of either a netgroups bug or the + in hosts.equiv (default on 413) this makes for a big problem with the default SunOS configuration. Not that we don't know that SunOS is shipped pretty lamely configured. Rod
