Solution/Recovery:

• Locate offending file(s) on appropriate machine.
• Inspect file permissions (e.g. ls -lrt <file>).
• If necessary, as root, change permissions of file (e.g. chmod 666 <file>).
• Inspect file permissions (e.g. ls -lrt <file>) and verify modification.

Cause:

• Unintended consequence of CentOS/Redhat system upgrades. The logfile rotation application was changed so that it does not default to honoring the permissions on the file it is changing. Requires changes in the logrotate configuration.

Associated Issues:

• Issue 11181.
• Issue 11049.
