Hi group

When I make my auth.log file world-readable (big security risk), the system reverts it to unreadable by world. Could someone tell me what kind program/daemon is changing the permissions back and if said daemon has a log somewhere. I would like to shake its hand. something out of cron?

This is Arch running in a hosted VM environment.
