On Windows XP?  It should be readable by everybody.

What permissions and ownership do you see for the log?  For instance, I see:

$ ll /var/log
total 996K
drwxrwxrwx+ 1 rberber None    0 Apr  1 19:10 ./
drwxr-xr-x  1 rberber None    0 Aug 14  2010 ../
-rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM  root 627K Apr 27 10:38 autossh.log
-rw-r--r--+ 1 rberber None    0 Dec  3 17:29 messages

autossh is running as a service, I don't have syslog-ng running so
messages is empty, both files are world readable.
