Sure!<BR>
Here is the default script from Centos5.1 with the chmod command:<BR>
<BR>
#/etc/cron.daily/logrotate<BR>
#!/bin/sh<BR>
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf<BR>
EXITVALUE=$?<BR>
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then<BR>
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with<BR>
[$EXITVALUE]"<BR>
fi<BR>
/bin/chmod 755 /var/log/messages<BR>
exit 0<BR>
<BR>
Notice that this makes /var/log/messages world readable. :-O<BR>
<BR>
But I digress. :-)<BR>
