(RADIATOR) Permission deny on logfile when running as non root

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Markus -

Here are a couple of suggestions:

Make sure the logfile exists with the appropriate permissions before  
starting

Set the umask of the Radiator process (or a parent), so that the  
logfile is
created with appropriate default permissions

regards

Hugh
