Hi All,

The following two patches would change the default log file name from
$workdir/log to $workdir/bacula-dir.log.  The sample logrotate config
file would then be updated to match.  The idea is that log is just too
generic and when combined with the olddir parameter in logrotate makes
it harder for an admin to know without opening the file what the
rotated log might be.

The downside to this change is that at the next package update, with
an existing director config (eg: log file name isn't changed), the
logrotate file would become out of sync with the file name used by
bacula.  This would result in the log file no longer being rotated
unless the admin adjusted things manually.  It's easy to correct, but
it needs to be noticed first.

Thoughts?

Thanks
-Ben
