Hi,

I want to cat /dev/null > serverlog every night (after the backup is
done) so that this file keep a small size.  Now, this file is owned
by "root" and the backup is done by the user "postgres".  I want to
change the permissions so that :

    -rw-r--r--  1 root     root      43M Jun 18 09:16 serverlog

become :

    -rw-rw-r--  1 root     postgres      43M Jun 18 09:16 serverlog

Does postmaster will complain about the new permissions or it's ok to
do that ?
