The idea I guess is that if you actually keep the logs for more than a year you're probably putting them into a tarball along the lines of "2001-04.tar.gz" or somesuch, and otherwise you don't care, so the year is superfluous. > can I configure the logfile format to include the year number ? not in the standard syslogd, at least. If you really care you could add it to the logs (while rotating if nowhere else), but it really sounds pointless. -- John Lenton (john@grulic.org.ar) -- Random fortune: Mi complejo de superioridad es mejor que el tuyo. -- Graffiti.
