Subject: [PATCH] Add root group writeable flag to log file
Some systems strips even root process capability of writing to different
users file. That include systemd under Fedora. When
log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log is used, log file with mode 0640
is created. But restart then fails, because such log file can be used
only when created new. Existing file cannot be opened by root when
starting, causing fatal error. Avoid that by adding root group writeable flag.
Ensure group is always root when granting write access. If it is
anything else, administrator has to configure correct rights.
(cherry picked from commit 1f8f78a49b8fd6b2862a3882053b1c6e6e111e5c)
