Recent install is not rotating logs. "rc-update" shows cronie and
"sysklogd" at "default" level. Directory /etc/logrotate.d contains...
elog-save-summary hibernate-script openrc rsyncd
I assume that I have to create configs for various files in /var/log
Reading "man logrotate", and adapting for sysklogd and bzip2 I get the
following for /var/log/messages. I intend to rotate whenever the file
hits 3 megabytes. Does it look OK? Do I have to set up /etc/crontab?
