I would say logrotate is out of scope for that section; it concerns only a sysloggera nd how to get it to write logs somewhere. logrotate is something else entirely, the syslog function still works regardless of whether log files on disk are rotated or not. I view logrotate as an extremely useful sysadmin tool and prevents many dead brain cells, but is not critical to a functioning Linux system. It really belongs in a miscellaneous section of "stuff that makes life so much easier", if the current objectives have such a thing. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected] _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
