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

But I digress. :-)

Best,

PKrash, temporarily working off a Winserver, sorry for any Outlook
mangling.
