SLUUG Administration [logrotate.conf]
Line 27: Line 27:
 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''​. 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.
