Fernan,

You can disable newsyslog by adding newsyslog_enable="NO" to your /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local

Also be aware that you will need to reboot with kern_securelevel_enable="NO" in one of those files, to lower the securelevel.

You should also consider a remote syslog host.

Hi,

I'd like to harden my FreeBSD installation, and thus would like to, e.g.

i) chflags sappnd /var/log/*
ii) raise the securelevel of the system

Is this possible? I've read elsewhere that newsyslog would not work in
such a system ... what are the possible workarounds?

I wouldn't bother taking the system down once a week or every other
week, and manually lowering the securelevel, running newsyslog, etc.
Is there a guide somewhere on how to go about this?

Thanks!
