I want to allow Exim''s log file to be read by any user on my mail server. I don''t really have any other users than me, but I do have some jobs that need to read the Exim mainlog. I used to be able to do that by changing LOG_MODE=0644 and recompling Exim. Now that I''m doing a Debian compile, that no longer seems to work. Next step was to also change LOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0755 but still the logs get created like this -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim adm 23850178 Feb 23 16:48 mainlog I want it to look like this -rw-r--r-- 1 Debian-exim adm 23850178 Feb 23 16:48 mainlog My Exim directory has these permission bits drwxr-sr-x 2 Debian-exim adm 1024 Feb 23 06:25 exim4 Where am I going wrong ? Thanks for any pointers in the right direction. mark
