Proposal for improvement of newsyslog.conf

Hi, I've noticed that newsyslog sends SIGHUP to syslogd on /var/log/wtmp rotation. But syslogd does not deal with the wtmp log file so there is no need for SIGHUP. I propose to make slightly changes to default newsyslog.conf file: 13c13 < /var/log/wtmp 644 7 *$W6D4 B --- > /var/log/wtmp 6
