Of course, that is Not This Case (tm).
The two issues remaining to be addressed in this case are: 1) Some note linking logadm(1m) to logrotate(1m). We chose Nico's recommendation from mid-day yesterday to update the SEE ALSO section in logrotate(1m). 2) The cron entry. At the moment, we're going to take Alan's note as a recommendation that we should leave it alone. (I subscribed to the lsarc list a few days before I opened the case, and I thought, "where is everyone?" Heh.) Dean
