Hey, I've got a question, if you do the above, after the next cron
logrotate runs, and it touches new files, will they too be chown'd
to adm? Would that be in the logrotate.conf? (Perhaps I should look,
ok, no reference to ownership in logrotate.conf ... continuing...)
Will they just inherit the properties of the prior file?
