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: --- /etc/newsyslog.conf Thu Oct 11 22:18:27 2018 +++ /tmp/newsyslog.conf Wed Dec 8 02:05:10 2021 @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ /var/log/maillog 640 7 * 24 Z /var/log/messages 644 5 300 * Z /var/log/secure 600 7 * 168 Z -/var/log/wtmp 644 7 * $W6D4 B +/var/log/wtmp 644 7 * $W6D4 B "" /var/log/xferlog 640 7 250 * Z /var/log/pflog 600 3 250 * ZB "pkill -HUP -u root -U root -t - -x pflogd" /var/www/logs/access.log 644 4 * $W0 Z "pkill -USR1 -u root -U root -x httpd" ---------- Forwarded message --------- От: Martijn van Duren <openbsd+m...@list.imperialat.at> Date: ср, 8 дек. 2021 г. в 09:50 Subject: Re: Proposal for improvement of newsyslog.conf To: Антон Касимов <kasimov...@gmail.com>, <m...@openbsd.org> On Wed, 2021-12-08 at 02:12 +0300, Антон Касимов wrote: > 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 644 7 * $W6D4 B "" > > Is misc a proper mailing list, or shall I send this message to bugs? > tech@ is usually the best place for this kind of suggestions.
