I was looking more for a setting from a Splunk config. Managing Acls is along the same lines as having to manage permissions. Also, I have SunOS, AIX, & Linux to manage. I should have been more specific in my question. Thanks for the feedback though.

Typically you need a default group for that:
Add this to your outputs.conf
[tcpout]
defaultGroup=nothing
disabled = false
indexAndForward = true
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3.1/Deploy/Forwarddatatothird-partysystemsd
"Note: If you want to forward only the data specifically identified in props.conf and transforms.conf, set defaultGroup=nothing."

add to server.conf seems like a solution..
[license]
active_group = Forwarder
or use the gui in 4.2 to switch to free license:
login the UI, go to manager > licensing
change the license group to "free license"
restart

Splunk runs as root so it has access to monitor anything on the system without managing those permissions.
I ran this
find /opt/splunk/ -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
The files get created:
-rw------- 1 root splunk filename
I want to have it
-rw-rw---- 1 root splunk filename
Any ideas besides change the root user default umask?
