Controlling Syslog Rollovers



	Is it possible to tell syslogd under what conditions to
roll over each syslog file? Under FreeBSD, for example, there is
a file called newsyslog.conf which lets one tellsyslogd to start
a new syslog file at Midnight or some other designated hour
instead of just waiting until the log file has X bytes in it and
then rolling it over.

	I would like to do that same thing on all the Debian
systems I run. Am I just missing the right documentation or is
there no way to do that through the stock syslogd?

	Thank you.
