newsyslog.conf question
I have developed a boot image for a CD to be used on servers througout the organization I work for. Everything is working great, except for one small problem. When I boot from the CD I created, I receive a message stating newsyslog: malformed 'at' value. /var/log/wtmp 640 5 * @01T05 B If I change the time specification to $M1D05 and start newsyslog, no error messages are generated. And, if I boot from the server's hard drive (from which the image was created), newsyslog does not generate any error messages. I have created a symlink from /etc to /usr/local/etc in case I should ever need to modify the file. I am running FreeBSD 6.0. Any insight into why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: newsyslog.conf question
Garance, Please add this. If I can help by testing out functionality, I definitely will. This will help out greatly in satisfying audit issues like Sarbanes-Oxley, etc... So, in the mean time, does anyone have a script that will do this via cron or something?

This is not something I had really thought of before today, but it would be a very handy feature to have. The PGP/GPG signature or an MD5 hash, something that could be used to verify the integrity of the log file once it's been rotated.
