| ===== Installation ===== | ===== Installation ===== | ||
| + | Installed as the default Debian logging setup. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== /etc/klogd/default ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Change KLOGD line to read: | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | KLOGD="-c 5" | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | to turn off console messages for lower priority messages. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Technically, we should be changing the ''kernel.printk'' line in ''/etc/sysctl.conf'' instead, but that has not yet been tested. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== logrotate.conf ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||
| ==== syslog.conf ==== | ==== syslog.conf ==== | ||
| + | Everything at level of info other than kern.info and mail.info goes to /var/log/messages. That was accomplished with: | ||
| + | |||
| + | news.info;daemon.info;\ | ||
| + | auth.info;authpriv.info;\ | ||
| + | cron.info;syslog.info;\ | ||
| + | user.info -/var/log/messages | ||
| + | |||
