Nginx does not re-open log files on SIGUSR1.

[Piotr Sikora]

Hi,

> Any reason to?

Yes, user requires "+x" permission to the directory in order to be able to 
open any file(s) inside it. Google/Bing/whatever for "unix permissions", 
this is as simple as it gets.

This is because:
- on start and reload - master process opens log files before fork() and 
worker processes only inherit them,
- on reopen - all processes need to open logs, so workers also need 
permission to open log files.
