If I can offer my $0.02, I recently solved such a problem on SuSE
Linux with apache logs. I used the ACL support on ext3 to give a
specific group read-only access:
cd /var/log
# Add an ACL for the 'www' user
setfacl -m u:www:r-x apache2
setfacl -m u:www:r-- apache2/*
# Modify the default ACL so that new files get 'r' for user
setfacl -d -m u:www:r-- apache2
Just pointing out that this problem is solvable on systems that
support ACLs w/o patching postgres.
