Can someone please tell me what is the mechanism which changes the permissions on /var/log/messages to 600 at midnight - I've searched all the cron entries and can't find it. I need to stop it as it is playing havoc with my system monitoring tool.

You can modify the permissions in /etc/logfiles. This is the configuration file that will be used by the daily cron jobs for logrotating. This script also checks and sets the permissions and ownerships according to /etc/logfiles.

Check /etc/permissions
