Comment:

Current behaviour is as follows:

  • Do not attempt to do anything with logs ownership/permissions on normal startup.
  • Chown logs to a user nginx is configured to run workers on logfile quick reopen signal (USR1).

This allows to use any permissions desired as long as logfile quick reopen isn't used (e.g., full configuration reload is used instead), and ensures logfile quick reopen works as currently implemented. While ownership change after USR1 might be a bit surprising for unfamiliar users, it is believed to be better than unconditional ownership change in any case. The need of execute bit on a log directory doesn't looks like a problem, too (note that read access isn't needed). If you are paranoid enough, you can use full configuration reload instead.

On the other hand, passing opened file descriptors from a master process is certainly better approach on platforms which support it, mostly because it needs less configuration. It is planned enhancement for a long time, let this ticket sit in trac as a reminder.
