I propose in some future release of openafs this behavior be
deprecated and, by default, the server would simply append to the
already existing log file on startup. Also, each server would handle
the HUP signal to (at least) reopen the log file when it is rotated
by an external tool such as logrotate. A .pid file for each server
process would be created to allow the log rotate tool to signal the
server processes to reopen log files after rotating the log files.

could the afs servers optionally use the existing syslog mechanism.
this would allow for a couple other things, like centralized logging.

Yes, I didn't mention, the syslog features are already in place. It is
in use at several sites (include SNA now). And you can already log to
fifos as well. I'm referring to plain file based logging.

Thanks,
Mike
