# configuration file for newsyslog # $FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/etc/newsyslog.conf,v 1.50 2005/03/02 00:40:55 brooks Exp $ # # Entries which do not specify the '/pid_file' field will cause the # syslogd process to be signalled when that log file is rotated. This # action is only appropriate for log files which are written to by the # syslogd process (ie, files listed in /etc/syslog.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/ftp.log 640 5 1000 * J /var/log/hwmond.log 640 5 1000 * J /var/log/ipfw.log 640 5 1000 * J /var/log/lpr.log 640 5 1000 * J /var/log/ppp.log 640 5 1000 * J /var/log/wtmp 644 3 * @01T05 B
