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. + +Please note that the actual permission depend on rsyslogd's process +umask. If in doubt, use "$umask 0000" right at the beginning of the +configuration file to remove any restrictions. + +$FileCreateMode may be specified multiple times. If so, it specifies the +creation mode for all selector lines that follow until the next +$FileCreateMode parameter. Order of lines is vitally important. + +**Sample:** + +``$FileCreateMode 0600`` + +This sample lets rsyslog create files with read and write access only +for the users it runs under. + +The following sample is deemed to be a complete rsyslog.conf:: + + $umask 0000 # make sure nothing interferes with the following definitions + *.* /var/log/file-with-0644-default + $FileCreateMode 0600 + *.* /var/log/file-with-0600 + $FileCreateMode 0644 + *.* /var/log/file-with-0644 + +As you can see, open modes depend on position in the config file.
