the current default value for newsysslog.conf is like below.
	the "size" line looks extremely small to me.  if we have any daemon
	(or normal program) that generates output to syslog, /var/log/messages
	will be rotated multiple times a day.

	does it make sense to raise the "size" value to larger (like 256 or
	512) and have "time" set to like 24?  do any of you have any idea
	why the current default value is picked?

	i can change the values locally of course, i'm guessing that many
	people having the same problem as mine.
