Or from SMF -- each service could have its own log rotation configuration. Fewer writable files in /etc -> better. > When I package my daemon for Solaris via pkg(5), I can't currently > auto-configure logadm, because I have to modify logadm.conf. You could do it by delivering a service whose start method adds the necessary lines to logadm.conf if they are missing. But things get complicated on uninstall. Also, this is probably a good reason for having a single service to run this sort of self-assembly: what if multiple such services compete to edit logadm.conf? There's no locking convention they could use! A single service that serializes self-assembly would solve that problem (though it might slow the first post-install boot). Nico --
