log _subdirectory_ permissions #7314

Issue Details

I know log permissions have been discussed before and resulted in a mode option for the file output of the log directive.

However, this option does not apply to any subdirectories that Caddy might create during logging.

For example:

My log directory is: caddy:caddy | 0755 | /var/log/caddy

My Caddyfile logging snippet:

log {args[0]} {
	output file /var/log/caddy/{args[0]}/access.log {
		mode 0644
	}
}

The created file is: 0644 | /var/log/caddy/example/access.log, as requested.

However, the created subdirectory is 0700 | /var/log/caddy/example/.

To me, this is counter-intuitive and undesired behavior, as the end-result is not what I requested in the configuration.

I think it would make sense if any created directories followed the file mode setting in the config. IE w -> w and r -> rX.
