 Edit ''/etc/logrotate.conf'' to change the ''rotate'' option for ''/var/log/wtmp'' from ''1'' to ''25'', and ''/var/log/btmp'' from ''1'' to ''13''.
+=== Later changes and corrections ===
+Add option ''dateext'' to change the naming convention of adding
+generation numbers ".1", ".2", etc. to  the "-yyyymmdd" format.
+Also manually rename all existing log files to the new format.
+Note this is the default in later releases.
+Fix incorrect permissions for the ''/var/log/btmp'' entry
+from ''0660'' to ''0600''.
+Also chmod existing files to make the same change.
+This is a well known bug fixed in later releases, but should be verified.
