Thanks for the patch.
Nicely spotted, but I am not sure I am a fan of the new text. Shouldn't
we still mention that "If the file does not exist, it is created."? Also
I think the last sentence would flow better as:
Access to the log file is disallowed to other users by default, but
users in the same group can also read it if group permissions are
enabled on the data directory.
Best regards,
