I cannot discover why the log file created by logback has different permissions then another file created by the same Java process. I don't see anything special in Logback code, do I miss something? The log file is only readable by the user running the process. /var/lib/jddclient drwxr-s--- 2 jddclient adm 4096 2010-03-08 12:24 . drwxr-xr-x 58 root root 4096 2010-03-08 12:23 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 jddclient adm 103 2010-03-08 13:04 status.xml /var/log/jddclient drwxr-s--- 2 jddclient adm 4096 2010-03-08 12:24 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2010-03-08 12:25 .. -rw------- 1 jddclient adm 9811 2010-03-08 13:04 jddclient
Logback does not do anything special with respect to file permissions. It just opens a file (creates if not existent). Does logback's behavior with respect file permissions differ from a file created by "FileWriter fr = new FileWriter("x")" ? Which operating system are you using?

I found it out immediately when I started to edit the source to insert the test code you asked. The code is running with the help of the Apache Commons Daemon jsvc *nix wrapper and the different file permissions are the consequences of the way jsvc works. The OS is Ubuntu 9.10. The jsvc wrapper does two phase initialization. In the "init" method it runs with root privileges (but under the real uid specified in the command line?), then in the "start" method it has already dropped root privileges and in addition it called umask. The result is below. Logback is initialized with the starting class, so it runs in the same environment than the first test FileWriter in the init method. And indeed both the log file and the test file are readable only by the specified user. The file created by the second test FileWriter, which runs in the second, start method, after the umask was called, is readable by group and others. Thank you for the help. /var/log/jddclient/ drwxr-s--- 2 jddclient adm 4096 2010-03-08 13:29 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2010-03-08 13:29 .. -rw------- 1 jddclient adm 2525 2010-03-08 13:29 jddclient -rw------- 1 jddclient adm 12 2010-03-08 13:29 test-init -rw-r--r-- 1 jddclient adm 12 2010-03-08 13:29 test-start Ceki Gülcü írta:
