Currently newsyslog.conf is:
# logfilename [owner:group] mode ngen size when flags
#
/var/log/aculog uucp:dialer 640 7 * 24 Z
/var/log/authlog 600 5 30 * Z
/var/log/cron root:wheel 600 3 10 * Z
/var/log/kerberos.log 640 7 * 24 ZN
/var/log/lpd-errs 640 7 10 * Z
/var/log/maillog 600 7 * 24 Z
/var/log/messages 644 5 30 * Z
/var/log/wtmp 644 7 * 168 ZBN
/var/log/wtmpx 644 7 * 168 ZBN
/var/log/xferlog 640 7 250 * Z
Five previous versions of /var/log/messages at 30K (before
compression) do not run back very far on some machines.
Would anyone have any objections if I changed the default to
7 & 250K (as used by xferlog).
I'd also like to increase authlog, cron and lpd-errs to 100K
(Which matched FreeBSD).
Any comments/thoughts/screams?
