Description

currently logrotate job (/etc/logrotate.d/nginx) creates archives with 644 and root:root permissions.
Better to create them as 640 and nginx:nginx.
At least 640 should be used.

# ls -l /var/log/nginx/
total 205580
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 25 04:42 ./
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jun 25 04:42 ../
-rw-r----- 1 nginx nginx 42206375 Jun 25 13:56 access.log
-rw-r----- 1 nginx nginx 80435629 Jun 25 04:42 access.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87237684 Jun 25 04:42 access.log.2.gz
-rw-r----- 1 nginx nginx 1162 Jun 25 13:41 error.log
-rw-r----- 1 nginx nginx 884 Jun 24 14:39 error.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38984 Jun 25 04:42 error.log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 nginx root 339808 Jun 25 13:54 vhost-error_log

Seems directive "create 0640 nginx nginx" should help.

Thank you!

logrotate script from nginx-1.2.1-1.el5.ngx has 'create 640 nginx adm' already.

Please check you are using correct logrotate script by
rpm -V nginx
