syslogd-listfiles
I see syslogd-listfiles and savelog at heart of /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd.
Are these methods unique to Debian? I use RH6.1 and Mandrake 8.1 and they do
not have syslogd-listfiles or savelog commands.
On my RH6.1 systems (slated for migration to Debian) the logrotate facility
is used to in the logrotate script in /etc/cron.daily. I had to add
/etc/rc.d.init.d/syslog restart to get new files handles for the loggers.
The Mandrake 8.1 system is same.
I notice that sysklogd does the restart. It's appears that I have solved a
problem the Debians solved in 1998. Grrrrrr.
Can someone explain why Debian does not use the logrotate facility to rotate
the log files? Is savelog a better logrotate with compressing at cycle 1
instead of 0. In sysklogd what are the permission changes for in files
listed with "syslogd-listfiles --auth"?
TIA
