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).
