Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.8-6
Hello debian,
I've found that logrotate defaults for wtmp file look like this:
/var/log/wtmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
Please change it .. rotate 1 for wtmp is in my opinion "criminal" -
and don't take it wrong. Sane setup should be something like size 1M
or whatever else. Just check how others do it (elX, suse, gentoo,
solaris, whoever ..)
regards, daniel
