Provided you let the automatic system maintenance routines run. the
permissions for /var/log/secure.log are set according to the
specification in /private/etc/newsyslog.conf.

Assuming I did not change something inadvertently, the automatic
routines should be running.
I was also getting an error message about a temp file not being
available with Audacity at the same time. I haven't added anything or
updated anything in the week before the weirdness started.

Have you tried a restart?

Are you running Mozy? Version 1.5.0.9 seems to have that problem on
10.4.11, especially the "Symbolic link ./tmp->private/tmp repaired"
error. I've been dealing with Tech Support about it and they're aware of
the issue and working on a fix.

And Mozy hasn't been backing up. So if you are running Mozy, that could
be the problem...

Restart & shut down. The problems continued. Then I fixed permissions
and the problems went away until I tried to print the next day. Fixed
permissions again, etc. etc. I did not shut down or restart, although I
did put it to sleep between the time stuff worked and it did not again.
