However, you can choose to install > metalog which does log rotation all on its own. logrotate originates from Red Hat, but many distros these days have it. I don't think it's mandatory, because you don't have to log anything at all (well, maybe that's not what we want *g*). Typing "emerge logrotate" doesn't seem to much work for me. metalog does a good job at rotating, but not all programs log via syslog (exim for example does its own logging, squid, apache...). I have metalog and logrotate installed. -- Dennis Freise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG key fingerprint: 2DE8 CCEF 6E20 11D4 3B27 21EC B0BA 1749 D2C8 38ED Get my public key at : http://www.final-frontier.ath.cx/gpg_public_key.txt
