This # action is only appropriate for log files which are written to by the # syslogd process (ie, files listed in /etc/syslogd.conf). If there # is no process which needs to be signalled when a given log file is # rotated, then the entry for that file should include the 'N' flag. # # The 'flags' field is one or more of the letters: BCGJNUWZ or a '-'. # # Note: some sites will want to select more restrictive protections than the # defaults. In particular, it may be desirable to switch many of the 644 # entries to 640 or 600. For example, some sites will consider the # contents of maillog, messages, and lpd-errs to be confidential. In the # future, these defaults may change to more conservative ones. # # logfilename [owner:group] mode count size when flags [/pid_file] [sig_num] /var/log/cron 600 3 100 * Z /var/log/amd.log 644 7 100 * Z /var/log/auth.log 600 7 100 * Z /var/log/daemon 640 5 100 * Z /var/log/lpd-errs 644 7 100 * Z /var/log/maillog 640 7 * @T00 Z /var/log/sendmail.st 640 10 * 168 B /var/log/messages 644 5 100 * Z /var/log/all.log 600 7 * @T00 Z /var/log/slip.log root:network 640 3 100 * Z /var/log/pflog 600 3 100 * ZB /var/run/pflogd.pid /var/log/ppp.log root:network 640 3 100 * Z /var/log/security 600 10 100 * Z /var/log/wtmp 644 3 * @01T05 B /var/log/daily.log 640 7 * @T00 ZN /var/log/weekly.log 640 5 1 $W6D0 ZN /var/log/monthly.log 640 12 * $M1D0 ZN /var/log/console.log 600 5 100 * Z
