Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding logging.

Firstly, what do other people do in terms of status file
rotation/truncation?  I ask this because I noticed lpq was running
very very slowly the other day, but couldn't figure out why.  I
eventually worked out that it was due to the sizes of the
status.<printer> files and making these very small cured the problem.
Obviously it's better to keep these files as short as possible to
prevent this slowness, but I want to keep the information around.  I
just wondered what other people did regarding this.

Secondly, I have the log file specified in my lpd.conf file using
'default lf=...'  However, I notice that this file hasn't been updated
since Dec 8, which is when I think I stopped running lpd in debug
mode.  Should I expect this file to log server activity during the
normal course of things?  Running checkpc doesn't report any problems.

Thanks in advance for any info.
