Re: [arch-general] Making logs readable by other user than root

Is there a good HOWTO on making syslog-ng create files with owner:group other than root:root? I'd like to make it possible for some users to read the logs in /var/log.

Any good suggestion for an already existing group to use? I was thinking of either log or wheel, any thoughts?

syslog-ng uses root:log in its default configuration. If it doesn't check /etc/syslog-ng.conf.pacnew and see if the log group exists for you.
