You could "arrest" its functionality without removing the package by editing /etc/logrotate.conf and commenting out the line include /etc/logrotate.d as well as the entries for /var/log/wtmp and /var/log/btmp. Then the package would still be present and satisfy the dependencies but the cron job would do nothing when it runs. This would also make it easy if you later decide you want to use logrotate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
