Hi;
In installing logcheck, I read the following information:
BSD and FreeBSD: You should go to the /etc directory and edit
the /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly scripts and change the
'rotate()' script function to change the log permissions on rotation.
Simply change the line:
/etc/periodic/daily, /etc/periodic/weekly, /etc/periodic/monthly. See man
(8) periodic. Also see man (5) pqqeriodic.conf.
However, BSD doesn't need to use logcheck and rotate (which are linux
creations), because it rotates logfiles using syslogd and newsyslog.conf.
See man (8) syslogd, man (8) newsyslog and man (5) newsyslog.conf.
