Hi Anand,
well spotted. I agree that it's better to change logfiles ownership
before dropping privileges.
I have fixed it in the git, and it will be present in the next release shortly.
Kind regards,
Marek

  Anand,
 thanks for reporting. I think the logfile needs to be created after
 the pribiledges are dropped. Well include the fix into final 1.2.0. 
 Hi Ondrej,
 If the log file is created after privileges are dropped, then the first
 few log entries (such as binding to interface) would have nowhere to go.
 So you should still consider changing the ownership just before dropping
 privileges.
 As a compromise, perhaps Knot could log those lines to syslog, and then
 switch to the log file (similar to what BIND does on startup), but
 that's kind of messy too, with log entries in different places.
 Regards,
 Anand
