Ok, here's the run file for /service/httpd/log/:

#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid ftplog multilog t ./main '-*' '+* * status: *' =status

main has the following permissions:

[root@localhost log]# ls -ld main/
drwxr-sr-x    2 ftplog   ftplog       4096 Jul  5 09:18 main/

So ftplog can write to the directory, which just confuses me even more!
