[Asterisk-Dev] What would prevent logs from being recreated ifthey are deleted?

[Rushowr]

Possibly a stupid comment/question, but is /var and /var/log writeable by
asterisk? If not, the system wouldn't be able to get as far as
/var/log/asterisk to find the "good" permissions

Hi,

I am running asterisk as non root but I set the directory permissions and
ownership to match. Here is my ls -la of /var/log:

[root at tomato log]# ls -la
total 2352
drwxr-xr-x  11 root     root         4096 Dec 11 04:02 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 root     root         4096 Oct 13 17:57 ..
-rw-r-----   1 root     root        27324 Dec 15  2005 acpid
-rw-------   1 root     root        12480 Oct 13 18:03 anaconda.log
-rw-------   1 root     root        21048 Oct 13 18:03 anaconda.syslog
-rw-------   1 root     root        52236 Oct 13 18:03 anaconda.xlog

Thanks
