Do not run FCx myself but you could create a script in
/etc/cron.daily to check/change it to whatever you like.

#********* start of my_kludge **************

_var_fn=/var/log/messages
_priv=$(/bin/stat -c %a $_var_fn)

if [ $_priv -ne 640 ] ; then
/bin/chmod 640 $_var_fn
fi

#************** end my_kludge *********************

I just put your script in an executable text file and tried it out, no
good, it will not work.

[root@ohmster scripts]# /root/scripts/change_messages_perms
/root/scripts/change_messages_perms: line 4: /bin/stat: No such file or
directory
/root/scripts/change_messages_perms: line 6: [: -ne: unary operator
expected
[root@ohmster scripts]#

Well it looked pretty cool anyway.
