+Subject: [PATCH] Create KDC and kadmind log files with mode 0640
+
+In krb5_klog_init(), use open() and fdopen() to open log files so that
+we can specify a mode.  Specify a mode which doesn't include the
+group-write, other-read, or other-write bits even if the process umask
+allows them.
+
+[ghudson@mit.edu: wrote commit message, de-indented post-open setup
+code]
+[rharwood@redhat.com: backport not clean for some reason?]
