Err, what was this about?
If you're looking for maintaining logs of who's used the system, the
last command is a better tool. It reads entries from the /var/log/utmp
file, which is set to be rotated everyone one month. You can symlink to
last from /etc/cron.hourly and set utmp to be rotated once a day in
/etc/logrotate.conf. last will be executed before logrotate because 'la'
comes before 'lo' when sorted alphabetically. cron will take care of
e-mailing output to root.
