Hello all,

Having read the man page for this file's
configuration, I notice there is not an option to
digitally sign the logs on rotation using PGP/GPG. Is
there a workaround? or are there plans to add this
functionality to future versions, like 5.3 -STABLE?

That is not on my list of things to add to newsyslog, but I could certainly put something for this on the list... If I do it, it will show up in 5.3-stable, and possibly even in 4.x-stable (although that is less likely once we have 5.3-stable). What I might add is some generic way to specify a program to run after a log file has been rotated, where newsyslog will specify the name of the (already rotated) log file when it runs the program.

This is not something I had really thought of before today, but it would be a very handy feature to have. The PGP/GPG signature or an MD5 hash, something that could be used to verify the integrity of the log file once it's been rotated.


Just my $.02.
