Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2005 11:54:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200508031154.57143.uwix@iway.na> (raw)
Hi folks,
from /etc/logrotate.conf:
-----
# no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
-----
It states it rotates lastlog (/var/log/lastlog) but it doesn't and my lastlog
grows forever. Doesn't seem right. Anybody else seeing the same or have I
messed up?
I mean I can easily edit /etc/logrotate.conf but I think it should do that by
default.
Uwe
