radius.log permissions issue

[Philip Molter]

With freeradius 2.1.6, I have a configuration such as this in my 
radiusd.conf file:

user = radiusd
group = radiusd

When I start up radiusd for the first time, the radius.log file gets 
created with 0640 permissions, owned by root:radiusd, instead of 
radiusd:radiusd.  This doesn't prevent the RADIUS process from working, 
but it does prevent any useful information from being logged.

Is this a known bug?  Is there a workaround other than creating the file 
by hand and setting its ownership before starting freeradius?
