apache rotatelogs changes logs ownership to root.

Hi Folks,
On a Solaris 9 SPARC box I'm running Apache 1.3.31 as a non-root user
(say apache).
Also, I'm using the built-in rotatelogs to (yes!) rotate the apache
logs.
Problem is, all the logs handled by rotatelogs are now owned by user
root instead of user apache.
Do you know how to adjust apache configuration in order to get those
logs owned by my user apache?
Cheers

These processes probably run with uid=0 privileges.

That's the wrong approach IMO. Make sure that the log rotation is done
with the uid (and therefore with the orivileges) of the user your
apache runs as.
