That sounds good to me. Should we include a group "logwriter" or
"logger" for completeness?
Who is in charge to change this? ... which way do I/we have to go to
reach this aim? Is this just contacting rsyslog-maintainer to change
ownership? I suppose not.
Were you thinking of just /var/log/messages? or all log files?
Or all syslog written files? or ?
If you are talking all log files, I would suggest making this into a
feature for f16, since it's going to require coordinating a bunch of
changes of packages to have the right group ownership of their log
files.
