Ran into a bit of problems with log permission and came across a new GUC "log_file_mode". But I could not seem to find much docs on it and I am not sure if it is production ready. Can patches be applied to older version of postgres? We use 8.2 and 8.4. Also interested in learning if there is an easy work around to installing new GUC. Thanks everyone. Dinesh
