There is no "quick fix."  Gluster creates the log files with 0600 — like
nearly everything else in /var/log.

The admin can chmod the files, but when the logs rotate the new log
files will be 0600 again.

You'd have to patch the source and rebuild to get different permission bits.

You can probably do something with ACLs, but as above, when the logs
rotate the new files won't have the ACLs.
