If not specified, the value 0644 is used (which retains backward-compatibility with earlier releases). The value given must always be a 4-digit octal number, with the initial digit being zero.</p> +<p>Please note that the actual permission depend on rsyslogd's process umask. If in doubt, use "$umask 0000" right at the beginning of the configuration file to remove any restrictions.</p> +<p>$FileCreateMode may be specified multiple times. If so, it specifies the creation mode for all selector lines that follow until the next $FileCreateMode directive. Order of lines is vitally important.</p> +<p><b>Sample:</b></p> +<p><code><b>$FileCreateMode 0600</b></code></p> +<p>This sample lets rsyslog create files with read and write access only for the users it runs under.</p> +<p>The following sample is deemed to be a complete rsyslog.conf: +<p><code><b>$umask 0000 # make sure nothing interfers with the following +definitions<br> +*.* /var/log/file-with-0644-default<br> +$FileCreateMode 0600<br> +*.* /var/log/file-with-0600<br> +$FileCreateMode 0644<br> +*.* /var/log/file-with-0644</b></code></p> +<p>As you can see, open modes depend on position in the config file.
