Can you give read permissions to the glogread group to the forums apache logs on godwit and gannet. For these directories and those below it: /var/log/apache2/forums{,test}.gentoo.org/ Thanks
Those dirs/logs are already root:forums with read permissions for members of the "forums" group, which you belong to. So you should be able to read those logs.
That may be, but /var/log/apache is apache:apache and permissions for 'o' is 0.
For the reason pointed out by kallamej I can't see these directories/files: tomk@gannet ~ $ groups users forums glogread tomk@gannet ~ $ ls /var/log/apache2/forums{,test}.gentoo.org/{transfer,error}{,-ssl}/ ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forums.gentoo.org/transfer/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forums.gentoo.org/transfer-ssl/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forums.gentoo.org/error/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forums.gentoo.org/error-ssl/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forumstest.gentoo.org/transfer/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forumstest.gentoo.org/transfer-ssl/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forumstest.gentoo.org/error/: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forumstest.gentoo.org/error-ssl/: Permission denied tomk@gannet ~ $ ls /var/log/apache2/forums.gentoo.org/transfer/$(date +%Y%m%d).log ls: cannot access /var/log/apache2/forums.gentoo.org/transfer/20121229.log: Permission denied
Closing as requestor seems to be retiring.
