Jonathan,

thank you for your help. The user is not able to removed the logs
directory. I've

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  jojo   512 Oct 26 09:30 logs
and
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  jojo   512 Oct 26 09:30 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 jojo  jojo   512 Oct 26 09:35 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root  jojo  2421 Oct 26 09:30 apache_access_log

One more and last question! How is the setting of the logs directory to
make sure, user is able to delete the content of the directory, but not
able to delete the directory itself? Or should I make the log files
owned by user, after apache have created all the log files?

Thanks!

Joachim
