[hobbit] log permissions

[T.J. Yang]

Cetainly, I once implemented  a bb external module  that was able to 
retrieve informaton own by roo but using PowerBroker.
If I am going to do it again (which looks like I need to), I will try to 
drop PowerBroker
and using sudo with sudoers on ldap(R1) for one central access control.

Subject: [hobbit] log permissions


Is there a way to tell hobbit to use sudo to read a log file?

I want to monitor a log file owned by root, rw for root, nothing for anyone 
else.  It is owned by an application that rolls it and resets permissions. 
I don't want to mess with the app.

I can write a cron job to check and set permissions, but that is not ideal.

Thanks
