Well, I normally just provide the hobbit user with access to the relevant log 
files with standard unix permission changes.

E.g., on a default Fedora-like installation, this should be sufficient:

# gpasswd -a hobbit adm

(although you could rather consider changing group ownership on the log files 
instead).
