why do the log files have permisssions set to 644 and not 600 ?
It shouldn't generally be considered a problem since it doesn't contain secrets to the users. It may be advisable to keep it a little more conservative, though.
Change it in /etc/permssions and run chkstat -set /etc/permissions .
There's more than one /etc/permissions - use the one that's mentioned in /etc/rc.config. maybe use /etc/permissions.local and have a look into /etc/logfiles as the rotater also sets attributes !
Note that /var/log/wtmp and /var/run/utmp need at least ug=rw (660).
